Which mechanism explains the increased electrical energy discharge rate from a piezoelectric crystal under resonant mechanical vibrations?

💡 Explanation

When a piezoelectric crystal resonates mechanically, enhanced stress-induced polarization occurs because applied periodic stress aligns more dipoles creating a larger voltage, increasing the energy available. Therefore enhanced stress-induced polarization correctly explains this, rather than ferroelectric switching which concerns materials possessing spontaneous polarisation.
