On stretching a wire, the elastic energy stored per unit volume is
The correct option is A. Fl/2ALEnergy stored per unit volume is given as u=12Stress×Strain
We know that,
Stress = FA and
Strain = lL
∴u=12[FA]×[lL]=Fl2AL.
On stretching a wire of Young's modulus Y having original length L by an amount l using a force F, the elastic energy stored per unit volume is
