When it comes to the piezoelectric effect you can have a small quartz crystal and apply a force to it and get thousands of volts as a result. But if you took a quartz crystal and applied a thousand volts to it, would it just crack? For a quartz crystal to take a couple thousand volts charge (no current applied to the quartz just voltage) would it have to have a larger size to take the extra voltage. I'm thinking the higher the voltage applied to the crystal the more the molecules move.
