Vedclass · Answer

(C) 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.The elastic potential energy $(U)$ per unit volume is given by:$U = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 	ext{stress} 	imes 	ext{strain}$Therefore,the total elastic energy $(W)$ stored in a wire of a given volume is:$W = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 	ext{stress} 	imes 	ext{strain} 	imes 	ext{volume}$From the definition of Young's modulus $(Y)$:$Y = \frac{	ext{stress}}{	ext{strain}} \implies 	ext{strain} = \frac{	ext{stress}}{Y}$Substituting the expression for strain into the energy equation:$W = \frac{1}{2} 	imes 	ext{stress} 	imes \left( \frac{	ext{stress}}{Y} ight) 	imes 	ext{volume}$$W = \frac{	ext{stress}^2 	imes 	ext{volume}}{2Y}$
