    If in a wire of Young's modulus Y, longitudinal strain X is produced, then the potential energy stored in its unit volume will be

    A) \[0.5 Y\,\,{{X}^{2}}\]             

    B) \[0.5 {{Y}^{2}}\,\,X\]

    C) \[2Y\,\,{{X}^{2}}\]                

    D) \[Y\,{{X}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Elastic potential energy per unit volume \[\operatorname{U}= \frac{1}{2}\,\times  stress \times  strain\] From definition of Young?s modulus of wire, \[Y=\frac{stress}{strain}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\operatorname{Stress} = Y \times  strain\] Given,     \[strain=Y\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,U\,\,=\,\,\frac{1}{2}\,Y\,{{X}^{2}}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,U\,\,=\,\,0.5\,Y{{X}^{2}}\]
