Physics-Elastic Behavior
NEET Physics Elastic Behavior MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11
Consider a stress-strain graph for a material where the initial portion is a straight line. What does the slope of this initial linear portion represent?

A
Young's modulus of the material
B
Bulk modulus of the material
C
Shear modulus of the material
D
Elastic limit of the material
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The slope of the initial linear portion of a stress-strain graph represents Young's modulus, as it indicates the proportionality between stress and strain for small deformations according to Hooke's law.
