Which outcome is observed when applying significant pressure to a piezoelectric crystal?

A)Voltage generation across the crystal✓

B)Increased crystal lattice conductivity

C)Crystalline structure phase transition

D)Suppressed crystal lattice vibrations

💡 Explanation

Applying pressure induces a charge imbalance within the crystal lattice causing the piezoelectric effect, because mechanical stress displaces ions in the crystal. Therefore, a voltage is generated, rather than lattice changes which require much greater energies under different conditions.
