Question
For n identical wires (same Y, L, A) in parallel, effective Young's modulus (treating as single slab):
- AnY
- BY (same)Correct
- CY/n
- Dn²Y
Correct answer
Y (same)
Explanation
Young's modulus is an intrinsic property. Parallel wires increase effective area → k = nYA/L but Y itself stays same.
