← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a high-frequency AC voltage is applied across a piezoelectric crystal with inherent capacitance?
A)Mechanical resonance and vibration✓
B)Dielectric breakdown and short circuit
C)Thermal expansion and material fatigue
D)Polarization reversal and domain switching
💡 Explanation
When a high-frequency AC voltage is applied, converse piezoelectric effect causes the crystal to deform because of induced electric field and interact with its inherent capacitance, leading to mechanical oscillation nearing resonance. Therefore, mechanical resonance and vibration results, rather than other options needing extreme destructive conditions.
