Q. If the tension on a wire is removed at once, then

AFMCAFMC 2007Mechanical Properties of Solids

Solution:

Due to tension, intermolecular distance between atom: increased and therefore potential energy of the wire increased and with the removal of force interatomic dista is reduced and so it the potential energy. This change in potential energy appears as heat in the wire thereby increasing its temperature
