40. The ____ of a sensor is the smallest change it can detect in the quantity that it is measuring.

a. Resolution
b. Bias
c. Noise
d. None of these

Answer :- a

The resolution of a sensor refers to the smallest change in the quantity it is measuring that the sensor can detect and accurately represent. It represents the level of detail or precision with which the sensor can measure changes in the input parameter. Higher resolution sensors can detect smaller changes in the measured quantity, while lower resolution sensors have limitations in detecting fine variations.

For example, in a temperature sensor with a resolution of 0.1°C, it can detect temperature changes as small as 0.1°C and accurately represent them in its output. Resolution is an important specification for sensors, especially when precise measurements are required in various applications, including IoT, automation, and scientific measurements.
