Sensitivity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sensitivity = Output Response Magnitude/Input Response Magnitude
S = Q_out/Q_in
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Sensitivity - Sensitivity of an instrument is the ratio of the change in output (or response) of the instrument to the change in input or measured variable.
Output Response Magnitude - Output Response Magnitude is defined as the output value of the instrument and its output response at maximum efficiency.
Input Response Magnitude - Input Response Magnitude is defined as the input value of the instrument and its input response at the desirable condition.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Output Response Magnitude: 8.1 --> No Conversion Required
Input Response Magnitude: 2.15 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = Q_out/Q_in --> 8.1/2.15

Evaluating ... ...

S = 3.76744186046512

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.76744186046512 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.76744186046512 ≈ 3.767442 <-- Sensitivity

What is sensitivity of an instrument?

The sensitivity of an instrument is its ability to detect small changes in the quantity that is being measured. Thus, a sensitive instrument can quickly detect a small change in measurement.

How to Calculate Sensitivity?

Sensitivity calculator uses Sensitivity = Output Response Magnitude/Input Response Magnitude to calculate the Sensitivity, The Sensitivity formula is defined as an absolute quantity, the smallest absolute amount of change that can be detected by a measurement. Sensitivity is denoted by S symbol.

How to calculate Sensitivity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Sensitivity, enter Output Response Magnitude (Q_out) & Input Response Magnitude (Q_in) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Sensitivity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4.362791 = 8.1/2.15.

FAQ

What is Sensitivity?

The Sensitivity formula is defined as an absolute quantity, the smallest absolute amount of change that can be detected by a measurement and is represented as S = Q_out/Q_in or Sensitivity = Output Response Magnitude/Input Response Magnitude. Output Response Magnitude is defined as the output value of the instrument and its output response at maximum efficiency & Input Response Magnitude is defined as the input value of the instrument and its input response at the desirable condition.

How to calculate Sensitivity?

The Sensitivity formula is defined as an absolute quantity, the smallest absolute amount of change that can be detected by a measurement is calculated using Sensitivity = Output Response Magnitude/Input Response Magnitude. To calculate Sensitivity, you need Output Response Magnitude (Q_out) & Input Response Magnitude (Q_in). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Output Response Magnitude & Input Response Magnitude and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
