$A$ uniform wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ is twisted by an angle $\alpha$. If the modulus of rigidity of the wire is $\eta$,then the elastic potential energy stored in the wire is .........

  • A
    $\frac{\pi \eta r^4 \alpha}{2 L^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\pi \eta r^4 \alpha}{4 L^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi \eta r^4 \alpha^2}{4 L}$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi \eta r^4 \alpha^2}{2 L}$
