← ScienceWhich mechanism causes zero resistance observed when niobium-titanium alloy superconducts?
A)Cooper pair formation and condensation✓
B)Increased electron-phonon scattering process
C)Suppressed magnetic domain flipping process
D)Increased quantized magnetic flux trapping
💡 Explanation
The Meissner effect arises because electron pairing, also called Cooper pair formation and condensation, causes electrons to move in phase, therefore, current flows unimpeded, rather than scattering normally due to impurities at low temperatures.
