$A$ wheel is at rest in a horizontal position. Its moment of inertia about the vertical axis passing through its centre is $I$. $A$ constant torque $\tau$ acts on it for $t$ seconds. The change in rotational kinetic energy is:

  • A
    $\frac{\tau^{2} t^{2}}{2 I}$
  • B
    $\left[\frac{\tau t}{2 I}\right]$
  • C
    $\left[\frac{\tau t}{2 I}\right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • D
    $\left[\frac{\tau t}{2 I}\right]^{2}$
