Question

The sensitivity of a multimeter is given in

• A. $\Omega$
• B. Amperes
• C. $k\Omega /V$
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C $k\Omega /V$

The sensitivity of an analog multi-meter is given in units of ohms per volt, $\frac{\Omega }{V}$ or kilo-ohms per volt, $\frac{k\Omega }{V}$. For example, a very low-cost multi-meter with a sensitivity of $\frac{1,000\Omega }{V}$ would draw $1mA$ from a circuit at full-scale deflection.
