NEET Physics Stress & Strain MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a thin steel wire and an aluminum wire, each with the same cross-sectional area, subjected to a tensile force. Which of the following statements about the strain experienced by these wires is correct?
The steel wire experiences less strain than the aluminum wire.
The aluminum wire experiences less strain than the steel wire.
Both wires experience the same strain.
The strain is independent of the material of the wire.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Steel requires a larger force to produce the same strain compared to aluminum, indicating that for the same force, steel will experience less strain due to its higher elasticity.
