Threshold: 0.1 pV

Resolution: 0.001

Threshold: If the instrument input increases very gradually from zero there will be some minimum
value below which no output change can be detected. This minimum value defines the threshold of
the instrument.

Resolution: If the input is slowly change from some arbitrary input value it will be found that output
does not at all until a certain increment is exceeded. This increment is called resolution of the
instrument.

Discussion:

1. Here we study the static characteristic of a voltmeter and study the following static
characteristic
Accuracy,Precision,Threshold and Resolution.
2. Here we set the input voltage at 0.5v so that the output is -5v.
3. We have to take the value of R1 and Rf such that the ratio of R1 and Rf is 10, so the gain of
the amplifier will be 10.
4. For threshold we have to slowly varying the input from zero to get detectable output.
