Which mechanism causes zero electrical resistance when niobium-titanium alloy undergoes cooling?

A)Cooper pair formation.
B)Increased electron collisions.
C)Reduced electron mobility.
D)Electron localization increase.

💡 Explanation

Zero resistance is achieved through Cooper pair formation where electrons bind together at low temperatures through the *electron-phonon interaction*. This occurs because electrons move in pairs in superconducting materials, so rather than scattering, they condense into a superfluid state.
