Question

The property to restore the natural shape or to oppose the deformation is called :

• A. elasticity
• B. plasticity
• C. ductility
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A elasticity

The property of a body to regain its original shape when the deforming force is removed from it or to oppose the change in its original shape is called elasticity.

Plasticity is the property of a body not to regain its original shape when the deforming force is removed.

Ductility is commonly defined as the ability of a body to be stretched into wires.
