The correct answer is:
Given,
The area of cross-section of copper wire is
Tension in the wire is
Young's modulus of copper wire is
Poisson ratio is
Using the formula of Young's modulus of wire,
The longitudinal strain is given by,
The Poisson ratio of wire is given by,
The lateral strain in the wire is given by
The percentage change in area is given by
