Which outcome occurs when an ultra-pure metal's temperature is rapidly lowered below its superconducting transition point?

💡 Explanation

When a superconductor rapidly cools below the transition temperature, magnetic flux lines are expelled, but imperfections trap some flux via Flux Pinning, because it minimizes energy. Therefore flux is trapped, rather than resistance decreasing, because rapid cooling introduces stresses.
