← ScienceWhich mechanism causes zero resistance when a superconducting toroidal inductor cools?
A)Cooper pair quantum phase coherence✓
B)Increased electron-phonon scattering events
C)Magnetic flux expulsion reduction
D)Suppressed lattice vibrational damping
💡 Explanation
Superconductivity arises from Cooper pair formation linked by quantum phase coherence. It's driven by electron coupling below a critical temperature; because the Cooper pairs move coherently without scattering, therefore resistance vanishes into a superconducting state, rather than by changes in electron-phonon interactions.
