Which distortion results when anisotropic stress is applied to a crystalline lattice?

💡 Explanation

Piezoelectric voltage generation occurs because applied stress induces dipole alignment within the asymmetric unit cells of the lattice, exhibiting the piezoelectric effect. Therefore voltage generates rather than changes to conductivity, because only asymmetric cell arrangements perform this function.
