NEET Physics Stress & Strain MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 11

Which of the following combinations about stress and strain in solids are correct?

A

Stress is defined as the restoring force per unit area; strain is the ratio of change in length to the original length.

B

Stress and strain are always directly proportional regardless of the material properties.

C

Young's modulus relates stress to strain for elastic materials only within their elastic limit.

D

Stress is the same for all materials under the same applied force regardless of their geometry.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A reflects the definition of stress and strain as outlined in the NCERT context. Statement C correctly identifies that Young's modulus applies within the elastic limit, while statements B and D misrepresent the relationship and behavior of materials under stress.
