Which of the following statements about resistive transducer instrumentation is true? Strain gauges can only be made from metallic materials. Wheatstone bridges consist of four resistive elements, only one or two of them can be a resistive sensor. The Gauge factor describes a change of resistance of a strain gauge for a change in strain. Strain gauges are generally temperature compensated.
