Q3 of 29 Page 65

The temperature of a wire is doubled. The Young’s modulus of elasticity

The Young’s Modulus (Y) is defined as


∆l can be written as



Where l is the original length, α is the coefficient of heat expansion (a constant for a material) and ∆T is the temperature difference.


So,



As ∆T increases, Y decreases.
