Which risk increases when applying a mechanical stress to piezoelectric crystal?

A)Induced charge screening increases
B)Premature dielectric current breakdown
C)Ferromagnetic domain volume growth
D)Increased crystal lattice coherence

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown is more likely because applied stress induces large electric fields in the crystal via the piezoelectric effect. This causes a voltage exceeding the material's dielectric strength, therefore breakdown occurs rather than lattice coherence, whose improvement requires other conditions.
