Three wires a, B and C are of the same length and cross section. They are each stretched by applying the same force to the ends. The wire A is stretched least and comes back to its original length when the stretching force is removed. The wire B is stretched more than A and also comes back to its original length when the stretching force is removed. The wire C is stretched most and remains stretched even when stretching force is removed. the greatest Young's modulus of elasticity is possessed by the material of wire

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
