Solution

The correct option is B YAα2Lt22
The potential energy will be equal to the work done here, so
Potential energy = Energy density × Volume of rod
Energy density =12×(YoungModulus)×(strain)2
Strain =ll=αT
Strain =ll=αt
Putting values in the formula
Energy density =12×Y×α2t2=Yα2t22
Now, Work done =Yα2t22×AL=ALYα2t22
