← ScienceWhich mechanism prevents magnetic field penetration within superconductors?
A)Meissner effect expels applied fields✓
B)Thermal fluctuations block fluxons
C)Isotopic impurities scatter magnetic dipoles
D)Quantum entanglement disrupts magnetic order
💡 Explanation
The Meissner effect shields a superconductor from magnetic fields because the surface currents generate an opposing field, therefore expelling the external field, rather than allowing penetration which would violate the superconducting state.
