← ScienceWhich mechanism enables current flow with zero resistance?
A)Cooper pair formation via electron-phonon coupling✓
B)Increased electron collision from lattice vibrations
C)Elevated material temperature causing increased conductivity
D)Destructive quantum interference inhibits flow
💡 Explanation
Cooper pair formation causes electrons to flow coherently, with superconductivity arising because the electron-phonon interaction leads to paired electrons near the Fermi level. Therefore, the material allows lossless current, rather than energy dissipation by collisions.
