MCQ
Elasticity is shown by materials because inter$-$atomic or inter$-$molecular forces:
  • A
    Increases when a body is deformed.
  • B
    Decreases when a body is deformed.
  • C
    Remains same when a body is deformed.
  • Becomes non$-$zero when a body is deformed.

Answer

Correct option: D.
Becomes non$-$zero when a body is deformed.
When a body is deformed, atoms/molecules are displaced from their equilibrium positions $(F = 0)$.
As a result, there is a force $(\text{F}\not=0)$ acts between them to restore their position.
