Which among the following materials is extensively used as a piezoelectric material ?
Options
- AQuartz
- BMica
- CAmorphous silica
- DTridymite
Correct answer
A. Quartz
Step-by-step solution
Piezoelectric materials are materials that have the ability to generate internal electrical charge from applied mechanical stress. Quartz and Rochelle salt demonstrated the highest piezoelectric effects. Hence, option (a) is correct.
