← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a piezoelectric sensor rapidly oscillates?
A)Ultrasonic waves are generated efficiently✓
B)Capacitance greatly increases, inducing current
C)Material damage increases, leading to fatigue
D)Induced voltage approaches zero asymptotically
💡 Explanation
Oscillation generates ultrasound because the piezoelectric effect causes continuous expansion/contraction when stimulated with alternating voltage, therefore ultrasonic waves are emitted, rather than increased capacitance, due to constant charge balancing at resonance frequency.
