Question:
A wire is stretched to double of its length. The strain is
A wire is stretched to double of its length. The strain is
Show Hint
Strain has no units. Doubling of length implies an increase by original length, so strain = 1.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Strain is defined as:
\[
\text{Strain} = \frac{\Delta L}{L}
\]
If a wire is stretched to double its original length:
\[
\Delta L = L \Rightarrow \text{Strain} = \frac{L}{L} = 1
\]
