Young's modules of material of a wire of length '' and cross-sectional area is . If the length of the wire is doubled and cross-sectional area is halved then Young's modules will be :
- A4 Y
- B2 Y
- C
- DY
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
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 (and temperature), not on the dimensions of the wire.
So changing:
- length from to
- area from to
does not change the value of Young's modulus.
-
Therefore
The new Young's modulus remains
-
Check options
- A: ✗
- B: ✗
- C: ✗
- D: ✓
Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
