    The elastic energy stored in a wire of Youngs modulus Y is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}Y\times \] stress x strain \[\times \] volume

    B)  \[\frac{{{(stress)}^{2}}\times volume}{2Y}\]

    C)  stress \[\times \]strain \[\times \] volume

    D)  \[Y\times \frac{{{(stress)}^{2}}}{volume}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    When a wire is stretched work is done against the interatomic forces. This work is stored in the wire in the form of elastic potential energy. \[W=\frac{1}{2}\times \] stress \[\times \] strain \[\times \] volume of wire Also when strain is small, ratio of longitudinal stress to corresponding longitudinal strain is                 called Youngs Modulus of material of body.                 \[Y=\frac{longitudinal\text{ }stress}{longitudinal\text{ }strain}\] \[\therefore \] \[W=\frac{1}{2}\times \] stress \[\times \frac{stress}{Y}\times \] volume \[=\frac{{{(stress)}^{2}}\times volume}{2Y}\]
