Which outcome results when strain is added to certain piezoelectric crystals?

A)Electric polarization due to dipole alignment
B)Increased thermal conductivity via phonons
C)Magnetic domain switching occurs abruptly
D)Accelerated crystal growth from saturation delay

💡 Explanation

The applied stress causes electric polarization because mechanical deformation affects material's **charge separation**, orienting dipoles within crystal structure. Therefore a voltage change appears, rather than increased heat flow, spontaneous magnetization, or crystal seeding impacts.
