The maximum load a wire can withstand without breaking, when its length is reduced to half of its original length, will

A

be double

B

be half

C

be for times

D

remain same

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Breaking force = breaking stress × area of cross section of wire ie it is independent of length of its wire till area of cross-section of wire is constant.
