Quartz crystal is most commonly used in crystal oscillators because:____________?
Correct answer: A. It has superior electrical properties
- A. It has superior electrical properties
- B. It is easily available
- C. It is quite inexpensive
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Quartz has a high mechanical Q and excellent piezoelectric and frequency-stability properties, allowing highly stable oscillation. Its availability or low cost is not the main reason for its use.
