Superconductivity involves the formation of ________
A) electron tunnels.
B) phase-matched electron waves.
C) Cooper pairs.
D) electron yokes.
E) Meissner couples.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Superconductivity involves the formation of Cooper pairs, which are pairs of electrons that are bound together by phonons (vibrations in the crystal lattice). When these pairs form, they can move through the lattice without resistance, leading to superconductivity. The other answer choices are not accurate descriptions of superconductivity.
