What happens when the applied load increases and upto breaking stress in the experiment to determine the Young's modulus of elasticity?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
The area of wire goes on decreasing and wire extends and breaks.
Option A is correct because as the load increases, the wire stretches (extends), and its cross-sectional area decreases until it reaches the breaking stress and fractures.

R: Strain is internal force per unit area of a body
R: Strain is internal force per unit area of a body
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If A is true but R is false
Option C is correct because strain is dimensionless (change in dimension/original dimension), and the reason is false as strain is not internal force per unit area.
