← ScienceWhich mechanism causes a resistanceless state when using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) at critical temperature?
A)Cooper pair formation
B)Josephson junction tunneling✓
C)Phonon-mediated attraction
D)Flux quantization effects
💡 Explanation
Josephson junction tunneling allows paired electrons through a thin insulating barrier, creating a supercurrent; because of this quantum effect, SQUIDs show zero resistance up to a critical current, therefore enabling high sensitivity, rather than general conductivity increases.
