A four and a half digit voltmeter set to its 20 V range can resolve

  • A.0.1 mV
  • B.20 mV
  • C.1 mV
  • D.10 mV

Answer: C

Correct answer: 1 mV

Four and a half digits means four full digits and a leading half digit, giving a full scale of 19999 counts. On the 20 V range each count is therefore \[ \frac{20\ \mathrm{V}}{20{,}000} = 1\ \mathrm{mV}. \] Resolution is the value of one count and follows from the digit count and the range together; it is not the same thing as accuracy, which the specification states separately.
