Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to produce an electric charge. Piezoelectric is a Greek word that means to squeeze or press.
The production and detection of sound, generation of high voltage electricity, as a clock generator in electronic devices, in microbalances, to drive an Ultrasonic nozzle, and in ultrafine focusing are just some of the uses for the piezoelectric effect.
Direct and reverse piezoelectric effects can be seen in Piezoelectric materials. The direct effect causes an electrical charge when a mechanical shock is applied to the material, while the reverse effect causes a mechanical shock when electricity is applied.
The inverse piezoelectric effect converts mechanical and electrical energy. There are two things. When the inverse piezoelectric effect is applied, it shrinks or expands a piezoelectric crystal. The inverse piezoelectric effect can be used to create acoustic sound waves.
The inverse piezoelectric effect is a result of an electric field being enforced onto crystal leads. The Greek word for squeezing or pressing is called piezoelectricity. The Greek word for electric is amber.
When a voltage is applied across the opposite face of a crystal, it becomes mechanically stressed. What is the cause of piezoelectricity? Think of a crystal and you think of balls mounted on bars, similar to a climbing frame.
The piezoelectric charge constant, d, represents the polarisation charge per unit of mechanical stress, or the mechanical strain experienced per unit electric field, as the most important parameters for characterising the piezoelectric materials.
