Advanced Solids MixedEasyQuestion 6383

Question

Tensile stress on a wire increases when:
  1. A
    Area increases
  2. B
    Force decreases
  3. C
    Area decreases (same force)
    Correct
  4. D
    Temperature increases

Correct answer

Area decreases (same force)

Explanation

σ = F/A. For same F, smaller A → larger stress. Area decreases → stress increases.
