Which consequence results when anisotropic thermal expansion occurs within a piezoelectric crystal?

💡 Explanation

Anisotropic thermal expansion creates internal stress, thereby activating the piezoelectric effect because it directly converts mechanical stress into an electrical voltage. Therefore, a voltage appears; rather than affecting symmetry, coupling, or amorphization which would need different, higher-energy mechanisms.
