← ScienceWhich mechanism causes zero electrical resistance when niobium-titanium alloy undergoes cooling?
A)Cooper pair formation.✓
B)Increased electron collisions.
C)Reduced electron mobility.
D)Electron localization increase.
💡 Explanation
Zero resistance is achieved through Cooper pair formation where electrons bind together at low temperatures through the *electron-phonon interaction*. This occurs because electrons move in pairs in superconducting materials, so rather than scattering, they condense into a superfluid state.
