Which failure occurs when piezoelectric crystal capacitance drifts?

A)Resonance frequency shifts unexpectedly
B)Charge generation becomes inconsistent
C)Mechanical stress approaches yield point
D)Crystal lattice structure becomes unstable

💡 Explanation

Changes in capacitance in a piezoelectric crystal cause oscillator frequency deviations because the change directly affects the resonant frequency via the capacitance in the crystal’s equivalent circuit. Therefore resonance frequency shifts, rather than charge instability or material failure without excessive excitation.
