WBCS.LIVE practice question

A perfect superconductor exhibits extreme diamagnetism, completely expelling internal magnetic fields. What is this phenomenon called?

Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. Meissner effect
  2. Zeeman effect
  3. Peltier effect
  4. Seebeck effect

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Meissner effect

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) Meissner effect šŸ“š Explanation: The Meissner effect is the total expulsion of a magnetic field from the interior of a superconducting material as it transitions into the superconducting state below its critical temperature. This perfectly diamagnetic behavior proves that superconductors are not just perfect conductors, but a unique quantum state of matter.
