If the full-scale deflection current of a multimeter is 50 µA, its sensitivity is ________________?

Correct answer: D. 20 kO/V

  • A. 10 kO/V
  • B. 100 kO/V
  • C. 50 kO/V
  • D. 20 kO/V

Explanation

Sensitivity in ohms per volt is 1 divided by the full-scale current: 1/(50 microampere) = 20,000 ohms per volt, or 20 kΩ/V. Thus the correct value is 20 kΩ/V.
