Open in App
Solution

Physics defines elasticity as "resistance to change"
The greater the resistance to change, the greater is the elasticity of the material & the faster it comes back to its original shape or configuration after the deforming force is removed. By this deflation, steel is more elastic than rubber because steel comes back to its original shape faster than rubber when the deforming forces are removed.
