What is the difference between super conductor and perfect conductor?

A perfect conductor will have absolutely no losses. A super conductor will be essentially lossless if it can be kept at a specific temperature. As it deviates from this temperature, its' losses will increase.


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.


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 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.


Is brass a super conductor of electricity?

brass is a good conductor, not a super conductor.


Will increasing the conductor thickness increase resistance?

No. A thicker conductor will lower resistance.


What factors effect the resistance of a conductor?

Factors affecting the resistance of a conductor include the material from which it is made, its length, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature.


What happens to the resistance of a conductor when the length of the conductor is reduced to half?

If the length of the conductor is halved, the resistance of the conductor also decreases by half. This is because resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. Shortening the length leads to fewer collisions between electrons and reduces the overall resistance.


What happens to the resistance as the conductor is measured?

The longer the conductor the greater the end to end resistance.
