Question
A wire of length L0 is supplied heat to to raise its temperature by T. If γ is the coefficient of volume ex the wire and Y is the young's modulus of the wire then the energy density stored in the wire is
Options:
A .  12γ2T2Y
B .  13γ2T2Y3
C .  118γ2T2Y
D .  118 γ2T2Y
Answer: Option D
:
D
Due to heating the length of the wire increases. Longitudinal strain is produced ΔLL=a×ΔT
Elastic potential energy per unit volume E=12×Stress×Strain=12×Y×(Strain)2
E=12×Y×(ΔLL)2=12×Y×a2×ΔT2orE=12×Y×(γ3)2×T2=118γ2YT2[Asγ=3aandΔT=T(given)]
