Two identical wires of different materials have Young's moduli of elasticity as 22×1010N/m2 and 11×1010N/m2 respectively. If these are stretched by equal loads then the ratio of extensions produced in them will be:

Solution
The correct option is A 1 : 2 We know that Δl=FLAY. Thus, for same load and same length and area (because similar wires), extension is inversely proportional to Young's modulus. Thus, for Y in ratio 2:1, extension will be in ratio 1:2
