← ScienceWhich mechanism causes zero electrical resistance when ceramic is cooled in liquid nitrogen?
A)Cooper Pair formation dominates✓
B)increased electron phonon scattering
C)impurity band conduction increases
D)grain boundary resistance dominates
💡 Explanation
Superconductivity appears due to Cooper Pair formation; two electrons form a bound state, allowing them to move without scattering, because this is the mechanism rather than increased scattering effects. Therefore, Cooper Pair formation dominates rather than impurity or boundary effects.
