The breaking force for a wire is F.What will be the breaking force for two parallel wires of same size

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When two wires of the same size are suspended in parallel, a force equal to 2F has to be applied on the parallel combination , so that a force equal to the breaking force for the wire acts on each of the two wires.
