Question

For n identical wires (same Y, L, A) in parallel, effective Young's modulus (treating as single slab):
  1. A
    nY
  2. B
    Y (same)
    Correct
  3. C
    Y/n
  4. D
    n²Y

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.
