Distinguish between piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials with an example of each.
Piezoelectrics are materials that are capable of creating electricity when they are subjected to a mechanical stress. They will also work in reverse, generating a strain by the application of an electric field. In these materials, the coupling between the mechanical and electrical energy results in an electric polarization when stress is applied.
