A wire of Young's modulus \(1 \cdot 6 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^{2}\) is stretched by a force so as to produce a strain of \(2 \times 10^{-4}\). The energy density of the wire is

  1. A \(3 \cdot 2 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
  2. B \(3 \cdot 2 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
  3. C \(1 \cdot 6 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
  4. D \(6 \cdot 4 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3 \cdot 2 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy \(=1 / 2 \times Y \times(\text { Strain })^{2}\)
\(=1 / 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{12} \times 4^{2} \times 10^{-8}\)
\(=3.2 \times 10^{4}\).
