Answer:

2.44 mV

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has to be one of analog quantization size questions and as such, we use the formula

Q = (V₂ - V₁) / 2^n

Where

n = 12

V₂ = higher voltage, 5 V

V₁ = lower voltage, -5 V

Q = is the change in voltage were looking for

On applying the formula and substitutiting the values we have

Q = (5 - -5) / 2^12

Q = 10 / 4096

Q = 0.00244 V, or we say, 2.44 mV
