← ScienceWhich mechanism causes zero resistance in superconducting wires?
A)Cooper pair electron phonon interaction✓
B)Increased electron-electron collision frequency
C)Quantum tunneling across grain boundaries
D)Suppressed thermal lattice vibration scattering
💡 Explanation
Cooper pairs form because of electron-lattice-electron interactions; this pairing due to the phonon interaction allows electrons to move without scattering. Therefore, resistance disappears; rather than increasing collision frequencies, electrons move coherently.
