In Searle's experiment for Young's modulus, the experimental wire and the reference wire should be (more than one option may be correct)

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, D
Solution:

The two wires should be identical in material, length and area of cross-section so that thermal expansion and sagging effects cancel; long thin wires give a measurable extension for small loads.

Only the experimental wire is loaded, so (C) is wrong.
