When we stretch a wire , we have to perform work, why ?
What happen to the energy given to the wire in the process.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When a wire is stretched, the atoms are displaced from their respective positions and work is done against interatomic force of attraction. The work is stored in the wire form of elastic potential energy.
