Deformation can be classified into three specific types covered together. Which of the following is NOT one of the three?

AChanges in length from tension and compression
BSideways shear deformation of the material
CChanges in the material's total volume
DChanges in the material's electric charge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Changes in the material's electric charge
1. Exactly three types of deformation are covered in this topic. 2. Those three are changes in length from tension and compression, sideways shear, and changes in volume. 3. Changes in electric charge are never mentioned as a type of mechanical deformation anywhere in this material. 4. The other three options each name one of the three deformation types actually covered. _Source: OpenStax College Physics (CC BY 4.0), Ch 5 "Further Applications of Newton's Laws: Friction, Drag, and Elasticity", section 5.3 Elasticity: Stress and Strain_
