Elasticity:
-
When an external force is applied to a rigid body there is a change in its length, volume (or) shape. When external forces are removed the body tends to regain its original shape and size.
-
Such a property of a body by virtue of which a body tends to regain its original shape (or) size when external forces are removed is called elasticity.
Plasticity:
- Plasticity is the ability of a material to undergo permanent deformation.
Viscosity:
- The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to deformation at a given rate.
- Viscosity describes a fluid’s resistance to flow.
EXPLANATION:
- Elasticity is defined as the property of a body by virtue of which a body tends to regain its original shape (or) size when external forces are removed.
- Hence, option 1 is correct.
