When a stress of $10^8 \, N m^{-2}$ is applied to a suspended wire,its length increases by $1 \, mm$. If the original length of the wire is $1 \, m$,calculate the Young's modulus of the wire.

  • A
    $10^{10} \, N m^{-2}$
  • B
    $10^{11} \, N m^{-2}$
  • C
    $10^{12} \, N m^{-2}$
  • D
    $10^{9} \, N m^{-2}$
