← ScienceWhich mechanism causes zero resistance when niobium-titanium wire is cooled to superconducting temperatures in a tokamak?
A)Cooper pair formation✓
B)Phonon scattering reduction
C)Increased electron mobility
D)Decreased thermal agitation
💡 Explanation
Cooper pair formation causes superconductivity because electrons form pairs that move coherently; therefore, resistance vanishes rather than decreasing gradually, because collective behavior dominates the transport properties.
