← ScienceWhich 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.
