MCQ
The load versus elongation graph for four wires of same length and the same material is shown in figure. The thinnest wire is represented by line
- A$O C$
- B$O D$
- ✓$O A$
- D$O B$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$O A$
c
(c)
(c)
For the same load wire with maximum elongation has minimum cross-section area
As $\frac{F L}{A Y}=\Delta x$
$F, L, Y$ are fixed so $\frac{1}{A} \propto \Delta x$
$\Rightarrow O A$ is the thinnest.
