How to Calculate and Solve for Sensitivity | Zero Order of Instrument | Dynamic Characteristics of Instruments
Last Updated on April 23, 2024
The image above represents sensitivity |Zero Order Instrument. To calculate sensitivity, two essential parameters are needed: Output Reading (θo) and Measured Reading (θi).
The formula for calculating sensitivity:
c = θo / θi
Where:
c = Sensitivity
θo = Output Reading
θi = Measured Reading
Let’s solve an example;
Find the sensitivity when the output reading is 18 and the measured reading is 12.
This implies that;
θo = Output Reading = 18
θi = Measured Reading = 12
c = θo / θi
So, c = 18 / 12
c = 1.5
Therefore, the sensitivity is 1.5.

Calculating for the Output Reading when the Sensitivity and the Measured Reading are Given
θo = c x θi
Where;
θo = Output Reading
c = Sensitivity
θi = Measured Reading
Let’s solve an example;
Find the output reading when the sensitivity is 20 and the measured reading is 7.
This implies that;
c = Sensitivity = 20
θi = Measured Reading = 7
θo = c x θi
Then, θo = 20 x 7
θo = 140
Therefore, the output reading is 140.

Calculating for the Measured Reading when the Sensitivity and the Output Reading are Given
θi = θo / c
Where;
θi = Measured Reading
c = Sensitivity
θo = Output Reading
Let’s solve an example;
Given that the sensitivity is 10 and the output reading is 40, find the measured reading.
This implies that;
c = Sensitivity = 10
θo = Output Reading = 40
θi = θo / c
Then, θi = 40 / 10
θi = 4
Therefore, the measured reading is 4.
