← ScienceIn a pressurized piezoelectric oxygen sensor, which consequence results when a crystal lattice defect exists?
A)Reduced overall oxygen sensitivity✓
B)Increased false positive indication
C)Greater signal amplification observed
D)Elevated operational temperature threshold
💡 Explanation
Reduced oxygen sensitivity occurs because crystal lattice defects disrupt the uniformity of the piezoelectric potential, effectively reducing the sensor's ability to translate oxygen concentration into a measurable electrical signal. Therefore, sensitivity drops, rather than other signal distortions or threshold changes arise under pressure.
