MCQ
If the tension on a wire is removed at once, then
- AIt will break
- BIts temperature will reduce
- CThere will be no change in its temperature
- ✓lts temperature increases
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
lts temperature increases
(d) Due to tension, intermolecular distance between atoms is increased and therefore potential energy of the wire is increased and with the removal of force interatomic distance is reduced and so is the potential energy. This change in potential energy appears as heat in the wire and thereby increases the temperature.
