When some substances are subjected to mechanical stress this produces an electrical charge in them. If one of these same substances is subjected to an electrical charge it will undergo the same mechanical change in reverse. For more information please consider reading the wikipedia article about piezoelectricity.

What is a piezo sounder?

A piezo sounder is a type of electronic component that produces sound waves when an electric current is passed through it. It uses the piezoelectric effect, in which certain materials generate an electrical charge in response to mechanical stress, to generate sound. Piezo sounders are commonly used in electronic devices such as alarms, sensors, and medical equipment.


Is fused quartz piezo electric?

yes. back in the 15th century when alchemy was popular scientists found out the mineral quartz is piezo electri and so is fused quartz
