← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when strong shear forces act upon solid-state electrolytes?
A)Debye layer polarization decreases sharply
B)Ionic conductivity suddenly drops to zero✓
C)Grain boundaries undergo elastic deformation
D)Space charge regions exhibit uniform neutrality
💡 Explanation
Ionic conductivity abruptly ceases because mobile ions are forced back through lattice sites via a shear induced Blocking mechanism; therefore the ionic conduction halts completely, rather than the slow decrease in conductivity seen at lower stresses, because stress causes blockage.
