The piezoelectric effect is often encountered in daily life. For example, in small butane cigarette or gas grill lighters, a lever applies pressure to a piezo-electric ceramic creating an electric field strong enough to produce a spark to ignite the gas. Furthermore, alarm clocks often use...

). The piezoelectric effect also has its use in more mundane applications as well, such as acting as the ignition source for cigarette lighters. The History of the Piezoelectric Effect. The direct piezoelectric effect was first seen in 1880, and was initiated by the brothers Pierre and Jacques Curie...
