The general definition of elastic modulus is

  • A \(\frac{stress}{strain}\)
  • B \(\frac{strain}{stress}\)
  • C \(stress \times strain\)
  • D \(\sqrt{\frac{stress}{strain}}\)

The correct answer is A. \(\frac{stress}{strain}\)

Elastic modulus is the ratio of pressure (stress) applied to a body to the resistance (strain) produced by the body.

= \(\frac{stress}{strain}\)
