Q56 / 75 · JEE Main 2026 (05 April Shift 1) · Physics
The Young's modulus of steel wire of radius $r$ and length $L$ is $Y$. If the radius $r$ and length $L$ of the wire are doubled then the value of $Y$
- Aincreases by two times
- Breduces by half
- Correct answerCremains unchanged
- Dbecomes one fourth
Solution
Young's modulus $Y$ is an intrinsic property of the material of the wire.
It depends only on the nature of the material and its temperature, and is independent of the dimensions of the wire such as length $L$ and radius $r$.
Therefore, when the radius and length of the steel wire are doubled, its Young's modulus remains unchanged.
Answer: remains unchanged
It depends only on the nature of the material and its temperature, and is independent of the dimensions of the wire such as length $L$ and radius $r$.
Therefore, when the radius and length of the steel wire are doubled, its Young's modulus remains unchanged.
Answer: remains unchanged
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
