← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when molecular dipoles misalign in ferroelectric ceramics?
A)Enhanced piezoelectric charge generation
B)Reduced dielectric breakdown strength
C)Macroscopic polarization diminishes✓
D)Increased thermal conductivity occurs
💡 Explanation
The macroscopic polarization diminishes because anti-alignment reduces net dipole moment. This is due to a depolarization field effect antagonizing further alignment, therefore domains do not fully align, rather than enhancing or altering other properties.
