Q. When a force is applied on a wire of uniform cross sectional area $3 \times 10^{- 6}m^{2}$ and length 4m, the increase in length is 1 mm. Energy stored in it will be $\left( \ Y = 2\ \times 10^{11} \right)Nm^{- 2})$

A) 6250 J
B) 0.177 J
C) 0.075 J
D) 0.150 J
Explanation

(c) Energy $U = \frac{1}{2}\ \times \frac{4Al^{2}}{L}\ $
=$\frac{1}{2}\ \times \ \frac{2 \times 10^{11} \times 3 \times 10^{- 6} \times \left( 1 \times 10^{- 3} \right)^{2}}{4}$
= 0.075 J
