    What is the inverse piezoelectric effect or electrostrictive effect?


    *
    Answer

    The application of an electric field in the polarization direction of certain substances causes mechanical deformation; when the applied electric field is removed, the mechanical deformation of these substances disappears. This phenomenon of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy is called inverse piezoelectric effect.Or electrostrictive effect.
