Which of the following displacement sensors is known to have high sensitivity and a relatively larger measurement range?
Show Hint
- Strain gauge
- Capacitive sensor
- LVDT
- Piezoelectric sensor
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
- High sensitivity to displacement changes.
- A large linear measurement range (up to several centimeters or more).
- Good accuracy and precision. Other sensors like strain gauges, capacitive sensors, and piezoelectric sensors are generally used for smaller displacement measurements, with limited measurement ranges compared to LVDTs.
Therefore, the correct answer is (C) LVDT.
