Question

If you squish a crystal, it vibrates and produces tiny electrical charges. This is called__________.

  1. Piezoelectric effect.
  2. Magnetomotive effect.
  3. Thermoelectric effect.
  4. Inappropriate information.

hintHint:

When mechanical tension is exerted by compressing a crystal, there is an electrical potential present across its sides. This refers to Piezoelectricity.

The correct answer is: Piezoelectric effect.


    If you squish a crystal, it vibrates and produces tiny electrical charges. This is called piezoelectric effect.
    • Certain solid materials produce an electrical charge when it is applied to mechanical stress.
    • The ability of these materials is called the piezoelectric effect/ piezoelectricity.
    • The electric charges inside a crystal come out of balance.
