The effect on quartz crystal when a potential difference is applied across it.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Quartz is a crystalline, strong stone made up of silicon and oxygen atoms. The atoms are connected in a continuous
When an AC potential difference is applied across quartz crystal, then it will undergo a deformation or bending. This process is known as piezoelectricity. When quartz is getting squeezed then, it will allow charge to pass through and hence, current will be generated.
Conclusion:
Hence, quartz will undergo a deformation and hence current will be produced.
