Which mechanism causes zero resistance when niobium-titanium wire is cooled to superconducting temperatures in a tokamak?

A)Cooper pair formation
B)Phonon scattering reduction
C)Increased electron mobility
D)Decreased thermal agitation

💡 Explanation

Cooper pair formation causes superconductivity because electrons form pairs that move coherently; therefore, resistance vanishes rather than decreasing gradually, because collective behavior dominates the transport properties.
