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

Question

If the tension on a wire is removed at once, then (A) it will break (B) its temperature will reduce (C) there will be no change in its temperature (D) its temperature increases

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

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

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

it will break

its temperature will reduce

there will be no change in its temperature

its temperature increases
