Two wires of different materials have same length $L$ and same diameter $d$. The second wire is connected at the end of the first wire and forms one single wire of double the length. This wire is subjected to a stretching force $F$ to produce an elongation $\ell$. The two wires have:

  • A
    same stress and same strain
  • B
    different stress but same strain
  • C
    different stress and different strain
  • D
    same stress but different strain
