← ScienceWhich outcome results when thermal gradients induce stress inside a piezoelectric crystal?
A)Charge migration aligns with stress✓
B)Crystal lattice undergoes plastic deformation
C)Resonant frequency decreases linearly
D)Dielectric constant approaches zero
💡 Explanation
Stress creates deformation, stimulating **piezoelectric effect** because mechanical strain changes the internal polarization, resulting in local charge build-up matching the stress areas. Because of the piezoelectric effect, charge aligns rather than causing plastic flow; temperature variations shift resonant frequencies rather than causing a linear decrease.
