Inkjet printer works on the principle of :

  • A.Osmosis
  • B.Newton effect
  • C.Coulomb effect
  • D.Piezoelectric effect

Answer: D

The answer is the piezoelectric effect.

In a piezoelectric inkjet print head, each ink chamber has a piezoelectric crystal in its wall. A voltage makes the crystal flex, which pushes a tiny droplet of ink out of the nozzle onto the paper. Epson printers use this principle; the other main type, the thermal or bubble jet, heats the ink to form a vapour bubble that ejects the drop.

Osmosis is the movement of solvent through a membrane and plays no part in ejecting ink. 'Newton effect' and 'Coulomb effect' are not the operating principles of inkjet printers.
