NEET Physics Stress & Strain MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a stress-strain curve for two different materials, A and B. Both graphs start from the origin and initially follow a linear path. Material A's graph shows a steeper slope compared to Material B. What does the steeper slope of Material A indicate?

Material A has a higher Young's modulus than Material B.
Material A is more ductile than Material B.
Material A can withstand more strain than Material B.
Material A has a lower tensile strength than Material B.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The steeper slope in the stress-strain curve of Material A indicates a higher Young's modulus, meaning it is more elastic compared to Material B, as stated in the NCERT context.
