Which outcome occurs when a high-frequency voltage is applied to a piezoelectric crystal within a capacitance proximity sensor?

A)Resonant vibrations generate an electric field
B)Increased crystal resistance blocks current flow
C)Crystal fractures due to dielectric breakdown
D)Sensor overheating reduces sensing range

💡 Explanation

When high frequency is applied, the piezoelectric crystal within a properly designed capacitance proximity sensor experiences resonant mechanical oscillations due to inverse piezoelectric effect, generating a detectable electric field coupled with capacitance variations. Therefore, resonant induced electric field generation results, rather than resistance increase, crystal fracture, or overheating which involve different failure modes or operating conditions.
