easy
The length of an iron wire is $L$ and area of cross-section is $A$. The increase in length is $l$ on applying the force $F$ on its two ends. Which of the statement is correct
A
Increase in length is inversely proportional to its length $L$
B
Increase in length is proportional to area of cross-section $A$
C
Increase in length is inversely proportional to $A$
D
Increase in length is proportional to Young's modulus
Solution
(c) $l = \frac{{FL}}{{YA}} \Rightarrow l \propto \frac{1}{A}$
