The sensitivity of a transducer is

  • A.the range of input over which the output remains linear
  • B.the largest input the transducer can accept without damage
  • C.the output per unit change of the input quantity
  • D.the smallest input change that produces a detectable output

Answer: C

Correct answer: the output per unit change of the input quantity

Sensitivity is the slope of the calibration curve - millivolts per millimetre, ohms per degree, picocoulombs per g. The other three options define three different specifications: the linear range, the maximum permissible input, and the resolution or threshold. All four are quoted on a data sheet and none substitutes for another.
