If the length of a wire is made double and radius is halved of its respective values. Then, the Young's modulus of the material of the wire will :
- Aremain same
- Bbecome 8 times its initial value
- Cbecome of its initial value
- Dbecome 4 times its initial value
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Recall the definition of Young's modulus
Young's modulus is a material property defined as
-
Key idea
Young's modulus depends only on the nature of the material, not on the dimensions of the wire.
So changing:
- length from to
- radius from to
does not change the Young's modulus of the material.
-
Conclusion
Therefore, the Young's modulus will remain the same.
-
Option check
- A: remain same ✅
- B: become times its initial value ❌
- C: become of its initial value ❌
- D: become times its initial value ❌
Hence, the correct answer is A.
