Do the super conductors have real zero electrical resistance or is it a virtual one?

A superconductor truly has zero electrical resistance.
It took scientists a half century to explain why, so this answer will omit the explanation of the effect.

Why do you call metals as poor conductors?
Metals are poor conductors as they offer resistance to the flow of electrons however super conductors offer less or no resistance
Are copper and silver super conductors?
No. A conductor is a good carrier of electricity or heat. A superconductor is a material in which the resistance to electrical flow is zero. Silver and copper are fairly good conductors, but some energy is lost.
Why are super cooled metals good conductors?
Super cooled metals are good conductors because their super cooled properties allow them to conduct electric currents without resistance. This means no loss of energy.
Is cobalt a super conductor of electricity?
conductorCobalt is a metal. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
What is the name of a low resistance conductor in electrical engineering?
super conductor
When cooled this contains almost zero resistance?
Anything with the property of zero electrical resistance is called a super-conductor.
What does a super conducter do?
It has no (zero) resistance - thus current flows without losses.
What are the disadvantages of super conductors?
This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials.
What are conductors insulators and semi conductors and super conductors?

Does a super conductor have infinite resistance?
A superconductor has zero electrical resistivity below a specific temperature called the superconducting transition temperature.
What is super conducters?
Most conductors have resistance, which causes two problems: you lose energy in the conductor, so you need more electricity than you would with no resistance in the line, and you gain heat. Superconductivity is a property of some conductors where there is no resistance. Because superconductivity requires extremely low temperatures to work, only in places where you cannot have any losses at all--like cyclotrons--do you use superconductors.
What are the property of superconductor?
Super conductors are conducting materials which below a specific temperature offer zero resistance to the conduction of current : Currently, superconductivity can only be achieved at extremely low temperatures.
