Q70 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Physics
Under the same load, wire A having length and cross section stretches uniformly by the same amount as another wire of length and a cross section of stretches. The ratio of the Young's modulus of wire to that of wire will be:
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
Elongation in uniform wire under load is given by, where is area of cross-section.
As is same for both wire and is also same, we can write
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
