Difference between elastic body and Plastic body | Physics

                      Elastic body 

Definition: The property on account of which a body regain it's original size and shape on removal of external deforming force is called as elastic body.

Process:  It is reversible.

Ductility: It is less ductile in nature.

Modulus of elasticity: The ratio of stress to strain is low or equal.

Toughness: They have the ability to absorb energy up to fracture.

Bonds: The molecular bonds do not get fractured.

Shape and size: The shape and size does not change permanently.

Example: Rubber.



                               Plastic body

Plastic body: The property on account of which a body doesn't regain its original size and shape on removal of applied force is called as plastic body.

Process: it is irreversible

Ductility: They are highly ductile in nature.

Resilience: They have low yield strength.

Modulus of elasticity: The ratio of stress to strain is high.

Toughness: They do not have the ability to absorb energy up to a fracture.

Bonds: The molecular bonds are fractured.

Shape and size: The shape and size changes permanently.

Example: Plasticine
