Three wires A,B and C are of the same length and cross section. They are each stretched by applying the same force to the ends. The wire A is stretched least and comes back to its original length when the stretching force is removed. The wire B is stretched more than A and also comes back to its original length when the stretching force is removed. The wire C is stretched most and remains stretched even when stretching force is removed. The greatest Young's modulus of elasticity is possessed by the material of wire

A

A

C

C

D

Data is not sufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Note that A is stretched the least and recovers the original length after the removal of the deforming force.
