Young's Modulus of Copper Wire: N/m Value

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Young's modulus of copper wire is typically cited as approximately 110 GPa (gigapascals), which is equivalent to 110,000 N/m². This value is crucial for understanding the elastic properties of copper in engineering applications. Reliable sources such as Wikipedia provide consistent information regarding material properties, including Young's modulus.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material science concepts
  • Familiarity with Young's modulus and its significance
  • Basic knowledge of units of measurement in physics
  • Access to reliable scientific resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Young's modulus values for other materials for comparison
  • Explore the applications of Young's modulus in engineering design
  • Learn about the methods for measuring Young's modulus experimentally
