← ScienceWhich mechanism causes ideal diamagnetism observable in superconductors?
A)Meissner effect expelling magnetic fields✓
B)Ohmic heating increases resistance
C)Increased lattice vibration increases resistance
D)Reduced electron-phonon coupling suppresses superconductivity
💡 Explanation
The Meissner effect expels all magnetic flux from the superconductor because screening currents perfectly cancel applied fields. Therefore it displays perfect diamagnetism, rather than flux penetration or normal paramagnetic behavior, under low applied magnetic fields.
