Which mechanism causes ideal diamagnetism observable in superconductors?

💡 Explanation

The Meissner effect expels all magnetic flux from the superconductor because screening currents perfectly cancel applied fields. Therefore it displays perfect diamagnetism, rather than flux penetration or normal paramagnetic behavior, under low applied magnetic fields.
