Modulus of elasticity: The ratio of stress and strain is called modulus of elasticity.
Elastic limit: The point in a stress vs strain graph after which the body does not regain its original shape even after the stress exerted is removed.

ELASTIC LIMIT – the maximum extent to which a solid may be stretched without permananet alteration of size and shape . 
ELASTIC CONSTANT = diffrent types of stresses and their corresponding strains within elastic limit are related which are referred to as elastic constants . 
there are 3 types of elastic constants . 
1- youngs modulus , 2- bulk modulus , 3- modulus of rigidity . 
MODULUS OF ELASTICITY – youngs modulus explains the tendency of an object to deform along an axis when opposing force are applied along that axis , it is defined as ratio of tensile stress to tensile strain , it is called as elastic modulus .
