← ScienceWhich mechanism sustains current without voltage in superconducting magnets?
A)Flux pinning prevents magnetic field motion✓
B)Cooper pair quantum entanglement stabilizes flux
C)Phonon absorption cancels electron resistance
D)Perfect diamagnetism expels external fields
💡 Explanation
Flux pinning is key because quantized magnetic flux gets trapped at defects, thereby resisting motion and energy loss, since movement induces resistance. Therefore, pinned flux sustains current, rather than the alternatives which don't block flux movement/resistance from magnet instability.
