Hello. I am currently working on a project which requires me to deisgn a strain gauge. However, even though I have done quite alot of research, I am still unable to find the answers to the questions that I have. They are:

1) How to decide the resistance (decided by the grid length as R=resistivity x l/A ) value to use for the strain gauge?
2) How to determine the number of loops?
3) How to determine the width of the grid?

Please help as I have done all I can to find the answers but I am still stuck!!! :cry:

Thanks a whole lot!
