What happens to resistance in the strain gauge and voltage drop from a connected Wheatstone bridge if you were to pull the strain gauge along the long axis

Resistance and voltage drop will still continue to rise, although at a slower pace than on the desired axis.

Explanation:

Pulling the strain gauge in the long axis causes the wires to elongate/thin, the effect of this is that it will lead to an increase in resistance and voltage drop (V = I*R).

As a result of the resultant effect, resistance and voltage drop will still continue to rise, although at a slower pace than on the desired axis, such as the long axis.
