Poisson's Ratio (? ) is used when a material is subjected to axial stress. It is the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal strain. Mathematically, it is:
Derivation of the Poisson Ratio includes when a material is stretched, its width decreases (called lateral strain) and its length increases which is called longitudinal strain.
Poisson's Ratio (? ) is a dimensionless quantity and it is normally between a range of 0 to 0.5 for most materials. It is used in engineering applications including for bridge and building design. It is used in analyzing the structural deformations. Materials like rubber which has a high Poisson's ratio when s

Yes, there are many numerical problems in class 11 Physics. All important formulas must be on figure tips.
Class 11 Physics Chapter 11 is Thermodynamics. It is one of the most important topic in Physics.
There are three main processes Isothermal, adiabatic and cyclic process. In isothermal, the system is thermally conductive and the temperature remains constant. In adiabatic process, the system is thermally isolated and there is no change in heat temperature. The system returns to its initial stage in the cyclic process.
