The Young's modulus of steel wire of radius r and length L is Y ....

The Young's modulus of steel wire of radius rr and length LL is YY. If the radius rr and length LL of the wire are doubled then the value of YY

Options

  1. Aincreases by two times
  2. Breduces by half
  3. Cremains unchanged
  4. Dbecomes one fourth

Correct answer

C. remains unchanged

Step-by-step solution

Young's modulus YY 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 LL and radius rr.

Therefore, when the radius and length of the steel wire are doubled, its Young's modulus remains unchanged.

Answer: remains unchanged
