← ScienceWhich mechanism initiates frictionless current flow in superconducting cable?
A)Formation of Cooper pairs✓
B)Increase in lattice vibrations
C)Drude model electron scattering
D)Enhanced electron-phonon interactions
💡 Explanation
Supercurrent begins because the formation of Cooper pairs via electron-phonon interactions creates a condensate. This **Bose-Einstein condensation** allows electrons to move without resistance; therefore option A, rather than phonon increase which impedes current.
