SUMMARY

The inverse piezoelectric effect causes piezoelectric crystals to change their static dimensions by approximately 0.1% when subjected to a constant external electric field. This dimensional change is reversible and occurs as the crystals expand and contract in response to the applied electric field. However, there is a limit to the extent of this dimensional change, beyond which the material may not return to its original state. Understanding these properties is crucial for applications in sensors and actuators.

Hi, I'd like to get some help with my homework.
Piezoelectric crystals will change about 0.1% of their static dimension when an external electric field is applied to the material.
1. What happens with the static dimension if the external electric field applied is a constant?
2. Will the static dimension reach a limit?
3. It's always expanding and contracting?

Many thanks in advance.
