Which mechanism explains current flow when voltage drops momentarily across superconducting wire?

A)Kinetic inductance generates momentary voltage
B)Flux pinning recovers magnetic stability
C)Cooper pair density briefly diminishes
D)Thermal conductivity restores equilibrium temperature

💡 Explanation

Kinetic inductance in superconductors arises because Cooper pairs possess inertia; therefore when voltage fluctuates transiently, current resists change due to this inductance, thereby briefly driving it through finite resistance phase rather than perfect conduction which would necessitate no current change.
