In a strain gauge, the increase in resistance depends on the increase in length
. The variation of
with
is shown in the graph below.
The strain gauge is connected into a circuit incorporating an ideal operational amplifier (op-amp), as shown in the figure below.
The strain gauge is initially unstrained with resistance . Use data from the graph above to calculate the increase in length
of the strain gauge that gives rise to a potential of
at point A in the figure above.
