A potentiometric sensor is installed to measure joint movement in a bridge. During a routine check, it records a resistance change of 5 ohms. Given that the sensitivity of the sensor is 2 ohms per millimeter, calculate the joint movement in millimeters.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for finding movement based on resistance and sensitivity.
Evaluate the impact of temperature fluctuations on the readings from a potentiometric sensor installed in a bridge environment. How might this affect data integrity?
💡 Hint: Consider how environmental variables can change the physical properties of materials.
