Physics - Elasticity Question with Solution | TestHub

PhysicsMediumassertion reason

Statement-1: Elastic forces can be conservative even beyond proportionality limit.
Statement-2: Materials can be stretched even beyond proportionality limit. (point till which Hooke's law is valid is called proportionality limit)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Between the proportionality limit and the elastic limit the body still returns to its original shape.

So the elastic force is still conservative there: Statement-1 is true.

Materials do stretch beyond the proportionality limit: Statement-2 is true.

Statement-2 only says stretching is possible. It does not say why the force is conservative, so it is not the explanation.
