[jun]SUPERCONDUCTIVITY Flashcards
1
Q
What?
A
a state in which a material shows absolutely zero electrical resistance
-All the electrons align themselves in a
particular direction, and move
2
Q
Possible use
A
can be used to make highly efficient electrical appliances.
3
Q
properties of a superconductor?
A
- Zero resistance to electrical current.
2. Diamagnetism
4
Q
What is Diamagnetism?
A
A diamagnetic substance repels an external
magnetic field, in sharp contrast to normal
magnetism, or ferromagnetism, under which
a substance is attracted by an external
magnetic field.
5
Q
Context
A
IISC researchers found superconductivity at room temperature
-Usually it’s seen at very less temperature like -273.15°C
