Physics-Stress & Strain

NEET Physics Stress & Strain MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following statements about stress and strain in materials is correct?

A

Permanent deformation occurs when the material is subjected to stress beyond its elastic limit.

B

All materials recover their original dimensions after the removal of stress.

C

Ductile materials have a close ultimate strength and fracture point.

D

Strain is always proportional to stress in plastic deformation.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A is correct as it describes permanent set due to exceeding the elastic limit, consistent with the definition of plastic deformation. Statement B is incorrect because materials can have permanent deformation. Statement C is misleading as ductile materials typically have a far apart ultimate strength and fracture point. Statement D is false since plastic deformation does not adhere to the proportionality of stress and strain.
