A cylindrical wire is twisted with an angle `theta,` what is torsion produced in it?

A

`(C )/(theta)`

B

`C theta`

C

`(C )/(theta ^(2))`

D

`C theta ^(3/2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The torsion `(tau)` produced in wire directly proportional to the twise `(theta)`
Means `tau prop theta or tau = C theta,` where C is restoring couple per unit twise.
