    A wire of natural length\[l,\]Youngs modulus Y and area of cross-section A is extended by\[x\]. Then the energy stored in the wire is given by

    A)  \[\frac{1}{2}\frac{YA}{l}{{x}^{2}}\]                          

    B)  \[\frac{1}{3}\frac{YA}{l}{{x}^{2}}\]          

    C)         \[\frac{1}{2}\frac{Yl}{A}{{x}^{2}}\]          

    D)         \[\frac{1}{2}\frac{YA}{{{l}^{2}}}{{x}^{2}}\]

    E)  \[\frac{1}{2}\frac{A}{Yl}{{x}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Energy stored in the wire \[U=\frac{1}{2}Y\times {{(strain)}^{2}}\times volume\] Or           \[U=\frac{1}{2}Y\times {{\left( \frac{x}{l} \right)}^{2}}\times Al\] Or           \[U=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Y{{x}^{2}}}{l}\times A\] Or           \[U=\frac{1}{2}\frac{YA}{l}{{x}^{2}}\]
