The energy stored in a strained wire is given by

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2} \times\) load \(\times\) extension
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2} \times\) extension \(\times\) stress
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2} \times\) stress \(\times\) strain
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2} \times\) strain \(\times\) load
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{2} \times\) load \(\times\) extension

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy stored in a strained wire is equal to work done by the load to increase the length of wire. \(\therefore\) Energy, \(U=\) Work done \(=\) Average force (load)\(\times\) Extension in the wire \(=\left(\frac{0+F}{2}\right) \times\) Extension \(=\frac{F}{2} \times\)…
