← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increased mechanical stress deforms quartz?
A)Voltage generation via the piezoelectric effect✓
B)Reduced magnetic domain alignment stability
C)Increased electrical conductivity, inducing currents
D)Thermal runaway due to friction increase
💡 Explanation
Deforming quartz generates a voltage because stress polarizes charge via the piezoelectric effect. Specifically, mechanical stress displacing ions creates an electric field, therefore a voltage appears rather than other effects requiring magnetic fields or excessive heat.
