Young's modulus of the material of a wire is \(Y\). If it is under a stress \(S\), the energy stored per unit volume is given by

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{S}{Y}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{S^{2}}{Y}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{S}{Y^{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{S^{2}}{Y^{2}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{S^{2}}{Y}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here \(u=\frac{1}{2}\) stress \(\times\) strain
also \(Y=\) stress \(/\) strain
Hence
\(\begin{array}{l}u=\frac{1}{2}(\text { stress })^{2} / Y \\u=\frac{1}{2} \frac{S^{2}}{Y}\end{array}\)
