Which of the following is the correct definition for Gauge factor?(a) (incremental change in resistance due to strain/resistance of an unstretched wire)*(unstretched length of wire/incremental change in length)(b) (resistance of an unstretched wire/incremental change in resistance due to stress)*(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) (incremental change in resistance due to stress/resistance of an unstretched wire)*(unstretched length of wire/incremental change in length)The question was asked in exam.The above asked question is from Implantable Telemetry Systems in portion Biomedical Telemetry of Biomedical Instrumentation |

Answer» RIGHT option is (d) (incremental change in resistance due to stress/resistance of an unstretched wire)*(unstretched LENGTH of wire/incremental change in length) Easiest 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. |
