Concept:

\(Current \ Sensitivity=\frac{Voltage \ Sensitivity}{Internal Resistance}\)  ---(1)

Calculation:

Given:

Voltage Sensitivity = 10 mV

Internal Resistance = 20 ohms

Using equation (1) Current sensitivity can be calculated as:

\(Current \ Sensitivity=\frac{10 \ × \ 10^{-3}}{20}\)

Current sensitivity = 500 × 10-6

Current sensitivity = 500 μA
