The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement (position).

Sensitivity is defined as the ratio between the output signal and the measured property.

Here the output of LVDT is a voltage signal and the measured quantity is displacement.

Sensitivity(S) = output voltage/displacement measured

Given, RMS output voltage = 2.6 V

Displacement = 0.4 μm

S = 2.6 / 0.4

Sensitivity = 6.5 V / μm
