If the temperature of the wire is increased, then the Young's modulus will

A

remain the same

B

decrease

C

increase rapidly

D

increase by very a small amount

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As temperature is increased, the strain i.e., change dimensions of the body is increased, as a result, the stiffness of the material is reduced. Which causes decrease in magnitude of modulus of elasticity.
