A wire is stretched under a force. If the wire suddenly snaps, the temperature of the wire

A

Remains the same

B

Decreases

C

Increases

D

First decreases then increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Work done on the wire to strain it will be stored as energy which is converted to heat. Therefore, the temperature increases.
