Which outcome occurs when increased mechanical stress deforms quartz?

💡 Explanation

Deforming quartz generates a voltage because stress polarizes charge via the piezoelectric effect. Specifically, mechanical stress displacing ions creates an electric field, therefore a voltage appears rather than other effects requiring magnetic fields or excessive heat.
