MCQ
On stretching a wire, the elastic energy stored per unit volume is
  • $F l / 2 A L$
  • B
    $F A / 2 L$
  • C
    $F L / 2 A$
  • D
    $F L / 2$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$F l / 2 A L$
(a) Energy stored per unit volume $=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{F}{A}\right)\left(\frac{l}{L}\right)=\frac{F l}{2 A L}$
