With rise in temperature, the Young's modulus of elasticity
Options
- Achanges erratically
- Bdecreases
- Cincreases
- Dremains unchanged
Correct answer
B. decreases
Step-by-step solution
With rise in temperature, Young’s modulus of elasticity decreases due to the increase in atomic vibrations which leads to decrease in atomic forces. The Young's modulus is a measure of stiffness of the material. With rise in temperature, the length of the material increases which decreases its stiffness.
