$A$ tension of $20 \,N$ is applied to a copper wire of cross-sectional area $0.01 \,cm^2$. The Young's modulus of copper is $1.1 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$ and the Poisson's ratio is $0.32$. The decrease in the cross-sectional area of the wire is:

  • A
    $1.16 \times 10^{-6} \,cm^2$
  • B
    $1.16 \times 10^{-5} \,m^2$
  • C
    $1.16 \times 10^{-4} \,m^2$
  • D
    $1.16 \times 10^{-3} \,cm^2$
