← ScienceWhich mechanism causes lower critical magnetic field strength in type-I superconductors?
A)Meissner effect expulsion is incomplete
B)Flux pinning inhibits domain switching
C)Cooper pair density decreases sharply✓
D)Crystal lattice defects reduce coherence
💡 Explanation
Decreased Cooper pair density weakens the superconducting state, because it reduces the energy required to break Cooper pairs resulting in phase transition below critical field, therefore the critical magnetic field lowers, rather than domains due to flux pinning.
