Quartz crystal langai hpe, laksan maga de, jak n-gun a majaw, n-gun n rawng mat ai shaloi, dai kata kaw polarization byin wa nna, shi a ntsa kaw, n bung ai polarity a charge ni pru wa ai. Shinggan na n-gun hpe shapraw kau ngut ai hpang, dai crystal gaw shi a neutral state de bai nhtang wa ai. Raitim, shinggan n-gun a lam galai shai wa ai shaloi, charge ni a polarity mung galai shai wa ai. Ndai mabyin hpe Quartz nlung a piezoelectric effect ngu nna shamying ma ai.
Dai hte maren, quartz crystal hpe galai shai ai wan n-gun n-gun (electric field) hte hkrum katut ai shaloi, dai gaw, n-gun n-gun (mechanical vibration) ngu ai, n-gun n-gun (mechanical vibration) ngu ai hpe, n-gun n-gun (mechanical vibration) ngu shamying ai. Applied galaw da ai wan n-gun n nga mat jang, ndai deformation mung n nga mat sai. Ndai mabyin hpe inverse piezoelectric effect ngu nna shamying ma ai, dai hpe n-gun n-gun n-gun ngu nna mung tsun ma ai.
Piezoelectric effect hpe madun dan ai nlung ni hpe piezoelectric nlung ngu shamying ma ai, quartz nlung ni gaw kasi kaja langai mi rai nga ai. Kaja wa nga yang, piezoelectric effect hpe shawng nnan lang quartz nlung ni hta mu tam wa ai.
