Which outcome occurs when applying a high-frequency AC voltage across a piezoelectric ceramic capacitor?

A)Mechanical resonance from converse effect
B)Dielectric breakdown from excessive current
C)Reduced capacitance due to heating
D)Charge accumulation from ion migration decreased

💡 Explanation

When a high-frequency AC voltage is applied, the converse piezoelectric effect causes the ceramic material to rapidly expand and contract. This excitation can induce mechanical resonance because the frequency matches a vibrational mode, leading to mechanical resonance vibration. Therefore mechanical resonance results rather than dielectric breakdown or charge accumulation, because those require static high voltage accumulation.
