Two wires of the same length and same material have radii $r_1$ and $r_2$. Their one end is fixed,and when an equal torque is applied to the other end,what is the ratio of their angular displacement?

  • A
    $r_1^2 / r_2^2$
  • B
    $r_2^2 / r_1^2$
  • C
    $r_2^4 / r_1^4$
  • D
    $r_1^4 / r_2^4$
