A
The complete expulsion of magnetic fields from a superconductor below its critical temperature.
💡 Explanation:
The Meissner Effect is the complete expulsion of magnetic fields from a superconductor below its critical temperature. This phenomenon is a direct consequence of the superconducting state, in which electrons form Cooper pairs and exhibit perfect diamagnetism.
