Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion(A): If a wire is stretched, only half of the work done in stretching the wire remains stored as elastic potential energy.

Reason(R): Potential energy stored in the wire is

(1 / 2) \times

stress

\times

strain.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Option C (If Assertion is true but Reason is false) is correct because while the assertion about half the work being stored is true, the reason provides an incorrect formula for potential energy.
