between Steel and Rubber,Which is more elastic?Give reason!

Elasticity is defined as the property by virtue of which a material is able to stretch when a force is applied and is able to get back to its original state when the force is removed.
The greater the range of force that can be applied to a material and yet retain this ability to get back to normal, the more elastic the material. The greater the force that needs to be applied to cause this stretching, the more the modulus of elasticity of the material (modulus means ‘measure’).
A rubber band is not really very ‘elastic’. It is merely more stretchable. It cannot retain this property of regaining its original shape over the same range of force that a steel wire can. It merely stretches more than the steel wire. It is therefore not more elastic. It is merely more deformable.
I hope this will help ❤️
