Question
Suppose the strain gages in the bridge in Fig. 5.21 have the value 120 1%. The power supplies to the op amp are 15 V and the reference voltage, vref, is taken from the positive power supply. a) Calculate the value of Rf so that when the strain gage that is lengthening reaches its maximum length, the output voltage is 5 V. b) Suppose that we can accurately measure 50 mV changes in the output voltage. What change in strain gage resistance can be detected in milliohms?
Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number 49 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Suppose the strain gages in the bridge in Fig. 5.21 have the value 120 1%. The power supplies to the op amp are 15 V and the reference voltage, vref, is taken from the positive power supply. a) Calculate the value of Rf so that when the strain gage that is lengthening reaches its maximum length, the output voltage is 5 V. b) Suppose that we can accurately measure 50 mV changes in the output voltage. What change in strain gage resistance can be detected in milliohms?
From the textbook chapter The Operational Amplifier you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
