Properties of Matter question

2022 · 29 Jul · Shift 1 · Q55

JEE MainPhysicsProperties of MatterMCQ+4 / −1
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 :
  1. A
    remain same
  2. B
    become 8 times its initial value
  3. C
    become 14\frac{1}{4}41​ of its initial value
  4. D
    become 4 times its initial value
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: A

  1. Recall the definition of Young's modulus

    Young's modulus is a material property defined as Y=stressstrain=FAΔLL=FLA ΔLY = \frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} = \frac{\frac{F}{A}}{\frac{\Delta L}{L}} = \frac{FL}{A\,\Delta L}Y=strainstress​=LΔL​AF​​=AΔLFL​

  2. Key idea

    Young's modulus depends only on the nature of the material, not on the dimensions of the wire.

    So changing:

    • length from LLL to 2L2L2L
    • radius from rrr to r2\frac{r}{2}2r​

    does not change the Young's modulus of the material.

  3. Conclusion

    Therefore, the Young's modulus will remain the same.

  4. Option check

    • A: remain same ✅
    • B: become 888 times its initial value ❌
    • C: become 14\frac{1}{4}41​ of its initial value ❌
    • D: become 444 times its initial value ❌

Hence, the correct answer is A.
