  1. When an elastic material with Young’s modulus Y is subjected to stretching stress S, elastic energy stored per unit volume of the material is
    1. YS/2
    2. S²Y/2
    3. S²/2Y
    4. S/2Y
Correct Option: C

Energy stored per unit volume =

=
1
× stress × strain
2

=
1
× stress × (stress/ Young's modulus)
2

=
1
× stress²/ (Young's modulus)
2

=
× stress²/ (Young's modulus)
2Y
