Which outcome occurs when cooling a superconducting wire below its critical temperature?

💡 Explanation

Cooling below critical temperature allows electron 'pairing' (Cooper Pairs) caused by electron-lattice interactions; this induces the Meissner Effect. The mechanism is coherent phase matching between paired electrons, therefore resistance vanishes, rather than merely decreases, because electrons pass without scattering.
