JEE Main & Advanced Physics Elasticity Question Bank Graphical Questions

  • question_answer
    The strain-stress curves of three wires of different materials are shown in the figure. P, Q and R are the elastic limits of the wires. The figure shows that

    A) Elasticity of wire P is maximum

    B)             Elasticity of wire Q is maximum

    C)             Tensile strength of R is maximum

    D)             None of the above is true

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    As stress is shown on x-axis and strain on y-axis So we can say that \[Y=\cot \theta =\frac{1}{\tan \theta }=\frac{1}{\text{slope}}\] So elasticity of wire P is minimum and of wire R is maximum
