The inverse magnetic effect is also true. When current passes through the electrical conductor placed in the magnetic
field, mechanical force F acts on the conductor.
When compression or tension is applied to the crystal along the mechanical axis(y-
axis), charge separation occurs in the crystals.
This produces electrical voltage along the electrical axis(x-axis) of the crystal. This is
called ‘Piezoelectric Effect’.
If we apply a.c voltage along x-axis of the crystal then corresponding compression
or tension is produced along the y-axis of the crystal. This is called ‘inverse piezo-
electric effect’.
Thus Piezoelectric transducers convert displacement or pressure into an electrical
variable and vice-versa. The high frequency Ultrasonic waves are produced by this
effect.
