What is the name of a low resistance conductor in electrical engineering?
super conductor
A material that has almost zero resistance when it is cooled to low temperatures is a....?
Super Conductor :)
When cooled this contains almost zero resistance?
Anything with the property of zero electrical resistance is called a super-conductor.
Is cobalt a super conductor of electricity?
conductorCobalt is a metal. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
If A conductor has a resistance of 0.8 ohms what will happen to its resistance if the temperature is decreased?
The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the resistivity of the conductor. since the resistivity of a conductor is decreases with decrease in temperature hence the resistance.
Does a good conductor has a high resistance?
No, a good conductor has a low resistance.
What affects the resistance of an electric conductor?
The material from which the conductor is made, the length of the conductor, the diameter of the conductor and the temperature of the conductor are all things that impact its resistance.
What is a super conductor and what are some of its uses?
A super conductor is a material which when cooled to a low enough temperature, will exhibit an electrical resistance of zero. Uses include building very powerful electromagnets and Josephson junctions for scanning microscopes.
Will increasing the conductor thickness increase resistance?
No. A thicker conductor will lower resistance.
What must happen for a superconductor to work?
Super conductor will have zero resistance or zero resistivity. This happens when the temperature of the conductor reaches a very low temperature known as critical super conducting transition temperature. In case of mercury it will be 4.2K.
What happens to the resistance as the conductor is measured?
The longer the conductor the greater the end to end resistance.
What has the least amount of resistance a semi conductor insulator resistor or a conductor?
Traditionally, a conductor has the least resistance of the three, followed by the semiconductor and finally the resistor.
