The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about Young's modulus of elasticity, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Young's Modulus**: Young's modulus (E) is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress (σ) to longitudinal strain (ε). Mathematically, it is expressed as: \[ E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon} \] where: - Longitudinal stress (σ) = \(\frac{F}{A}\) (Force per unit area) - Longitudinal strain (ε) = \(\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\) (Change in length/original length) 2. **Analyzing the Assertion**: The assertion states that if the length of a wire is halved, its Young's modulus of elasticity will become two times. - Young's modulus is a material property and does not depend on the dimensions of the material, such as length or cross-sectional area. - Therefore, halving the length of the wire will not change its Young's modulus. It remains constant regardless of the wire's length. 3. **Conclusion on Assertion**: Since Young's modulus is independent of the length of the wire, the assertion is **false**. 4. **Analyzing the Reason**: The reason states that the ratio of longitudinal stress to longitudinal strain is called Young's modulus of elasticity. - This statement is correct. Young's modulus is indeed defined as the ratio of stress to strain. 5. **Conclusion on Reason**: The reason is **true**. 6. **Final Evaluation**: Since the assertion is false and the reason is true, we conclude that the correct relationship is: - Assertion: False - Reason: True ### Final Answer: The assertion is false, and the reason is true. Therefore, the correct option is that the assertion is false and the reason is true.
