Components of an Electronic Sensing System problem 9


The strain in a beam is to be monitored using a strain gauge. The strain gauge is included in the potential divider circuit shown in the figure below.




The strain gauge has a resistance of when it is not strained. The resistance increases to when the strain is . Calculate the potential difference between points A and B on the figure when the strain in the gauge is .
