If a wire is stretched to double of its original length, then the strain in the wire is

A

1

B

2

C

3

D

4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Strain = `("Change in length")/("Original length") = ((2L - L))/L`
Strain = `L/L = 1`
In this case Young.s modulus is equal to stress.
