  1. Copper of fixed volume ‘V; is drawn into wire of length ‘l’. When this wire is subjected to a constant force ‘F’, the extension produced in the wi re is ‘∆l’. Which of the following graphs is a straight line?
    1. ∆l versus l/I
    2. ∆l versus l²
    3. ​∆l versus I/l²
    4. ∆l versus l
Correct Option: B

As Y =
F
⇒ Δ l =
A
Fl
Al
AY
l

But V = Al so A =
V
l

Therefore ∆l =
Fl²
∝ l²
VY

Hence graph of ∆l versus l2 will give a straight line.
