Which mechanism inhibits lossless current when temperature increases through a superconducting cable?

💡 Explanation

Thermal excitation breaks Cooper pairs generating quasiparticles, because disrupting superfluidity increases electrical resistance; therefore dissipating energy, rather than maintaining lossless currents, which would require sustained Cooper pairing and coherence at low temperatures.
