Electrostriction (cf. magnetostriction) is a property of all electrical non-conductors, or dielectrics, that causes them to change their shape under the application of an electric field. == Explanation == The related piezoelectric effect occurs only in a particular class of dielectrics. Electrostriction applies to all crystal symmetries, while the...

deformation of a body due to electric polarization arising from an applied electric field and identical on reversal of the electric field strength NOTE - For an isotropic substance, electrostriction increases the volumic mass of the body proportionally to the square of the magnitude of the electric field strength.
