Gauge factor is defined as_______________(a) (incremental change in resistance due to stress/resistance of an unstretched wire)*(unstretched length of wire/incremental change in length)(b) (incremental change in resistance due to strain/resistance of an unstretched wire)*(unstretched length of wire/incremental change in length)(c) (incremental change in resistance due to stress/resistance of an unstretched wire)*(incremental change in length/unstretched length of wire)(d) (resistance of an unstretched wire/incremental change in resistance due to stress)*(unstretched length of wire/incremental change in length)lI have been asked this question in an interview for internship.I would like to ask this question from Pressure Transducers topic in division Physiological Transducers of Biomedical Instrumentation |

Answer» CORRECT CHOICE is (a) (incremental change in RESISTANCE due to stress/resistance of an unstretched WIRE)*(unstretched length of wire/incremental change in length) Easy explanation: Gauge factor is defined as(incremental change in resistance due to stress/resistance of an unstretched wire)*(unstretched length of wire/incremental change in length). Gauge factor gives information on the expected resistance change or output signal at maximum permissible elongation.the gauge factor DETERMINES to a large extent the sensitivity of the wire when it is made into a practical strain gauge. |
