What is a superconductor?
A material with no resistance below a critical temperature.
What is the critical temperature
The temperature at which a material becomes superconducting.
What is a common superconducting material?
Mercury, with a crticial temperature of 4.2K
What does the electrical resistivity against temperature graph of a superconductor look like?
What are superconductors useful for?
Applications that require large electric currents such as the production of strong magnetic fields and the reduction of energy loss/dissapiation in the transmission of electrical power.
What application are superconductors used for?
MRI scanners, Motors, Monorail and maglev trains, particle accelerators, Electromagnets, fusion reactors.
