Why does a superconductor exhibit zero resistance below its critical temperature?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Below the critical temperature, electrons in a superconductor form Cooper pairs, which move without scattering off lattice ions, eliminating resistance as there’s no energy loss to collisions.
