What is rutherfordium property at room temperature?
Because scientists haven't sufficient material to test properties of rutherfordium these are unknown and only some are predicted by comparison.
Which material has a crystalline structure at room temperature?
sucrose
An experiment yielded the above temperature and time information What is the freezing point of the material in this experiment if the material is a solid at time zero?
0 degrees celsius
What is the principal material used in making glass?
Sand heated to a very high temperature.
What is the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a material 1 degree celsius?
Depends on both the exact material and the exact temperature. The amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of material X by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat of material X. It takes 1000 times as much thermal energy to raise 1 kilogram by one degree Celsius because 1 kilogram is 1000 times as much mass as 1 gram. This does not hold over phase changes, such as ice to water or water to steam, because any phase change requires energy just for the phase change. Further, if you use a sharp pencil, many materials have specific heat which changes depending on the material's exact temperature. So you need to know what material and what temperature range and for that material are there any phase changes at that temperature range.
What is a superconducting magnet?
A superconducting magnet is one that is made of material that exhibits the property of superconductivity.
Why are superconductors used in strong magnets?
Superconducting magnets are electromagnets wound from superconducting coil (wire). Wire that conducts electricity with zero loss is said to be super conducting. At the present time zero resistance is not offered by any known material at room temperature, so superconducting magnets must be chilled to very low temperature.
A material showing perfect conductivity and Meissner effect below a critical temperature?
The Meissner effect refers to the expulsion of magnetic flux when a material becomes superconducting in a magnetic field. A material that shows perfect conductivity is called a superconductor.
Can stainless steel fully block magnetism?
No, only a superconducting material can block magnetic field lines.
How can an electric current be kept flowing through a coil of wire?
By applying an electrical current constantly or by using a superconducting material.
What are material scientists?
material scientists are scientists who work with different types of materials to cate new ones
Who were the three scientists who shared the 1975 nobel prize in medicine?
The three scientists who shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Medicine were David Baltimore, Renato Dulbecco, and Howard Temin for their discoveries concerning the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell.
Does a superconductor expel a magnetic field?
As a superconducting material transitions into its superconducting state, it ejects internal magnetic fields. In that light, yes, a superconductor could be said to expel a magnetic field according to what is called the Meissner effect. A link can be found below.
What is rutherfordium property at room temperature?
Because scientists haven't sufficient material to test properties of rutherfordium these are unknown and only some are predicted by comparison.
How would a superconducting material at room temperature be useful?
Most superconducting materials have to be very cold. Getting materials this cold tends to require the use of a lot of energy. The idea behind superconducting materials is to transfer energy more efficiently, without energy loss due to such things as heat. So, expending energy to save energy defeats the point. With a superconductive material at room temperatures, we could do things like send electricity for long distances without losing any of the electricity along the way. Electricity could be generated in wind farms on the plains and sent to houses on the coasts with no loss. It could make computers more efficient as well by allowing the creation of super-fast electronic switches. This is done by sandwiching a thin insulating layer between two pieces of superconductive material.
When a material is melting the temperature?
When a material is melting, the temperature is likely to be increasing. That or the temperature is just above the material's melting/freezing point.
what temperature a ferromagnetic material behaves like a paramagnetic material?
Curie temperature
