Photoresistor sensitivity definition, equation, calculator

This page describes photoresistor sensitivity definition. It mentions photoresistor sensitivity formula and photoresistor sensitivity calculator.

Photoresistor sensitivity definition:
The sensitivity of photo-resistor is defined as change in resistance to change in irradiance. This is expressed in the following equation.

The unit of photoresistor sensitivity is Ohm/W*m-2.
