NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11
Which of the following statements about the modulus of elasticity are correct?
A
The Young's modulus of steel is greater than that of rubber.
B
Shear modulus can determine the stretching of a wire.
C
The elastic limit of materials is irrelevant to their modulus of elasticity.
D
Higher Young's modulus indicates a material is more elastic.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The Young's modulus of steel is indeed greater than that of rubber, indicating that steel is stiffer. Statement B is incorrect as shear modulus relates to shearing, not stretching. Statement C is false since the elastic limit does impact modulus. Statement D is misleading because a higher Young's modulus indicates less elasticity, not more.
