STANDARD Physics Bulk Modulus and Compressibility MCQ Question with Solution

If stress-strain relation for volumetric change is in the form $\frac{\Delta V}{V_0} = kP$ where P is applied uniform pressure, then K stands for

A

Shear modulus

B

Compressibility

C

Young’s modulus

D

Bulk modulus

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The compressibility is defined as the reciprocal of the bulk modulus. In the given equation, $K$ represents compressibility, which relates the change in volume to the applied pressure.
