3 m long copper wire is stretched to increase its length by 0.3 cm. The lateral strain produced in the wire is,A. `0.26xx10^(-2)`B. `0.26xx10^(-3)`C. `0.26 xx10^(-4)`D. `0.26xx10^(-5)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`sigma=("Lateral strain")/("Longitudinal strain")`
`therefore " Lateral strain"=sigma xx "Longitudinal strain" `
`=0.26 xx (0.3)/(300) = 0.26 xx 10^(-3)`
