A current of electricity can flow at the same strength for an indefinitely long time in a superconductor but only for as long as the superconductor is held below its critical temperature.

If its temperature were allowed to rise to its critical temperature - or higher - the material would no longer behave as a superconductor: it would acquire resistivity which would restrict the flow of current.

Is A superconductor is A conductor having zero resistance?

Yes, a superconductor is a material that can conduct electricity without any resistance at very low temperatures. This means that once a current is applied, it can flow indefinitely without any loss of energy due to resistance.

Is salt water a superconductor?

No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.


What resistance does a superconductor have?

An ideal superconductor has exactly zero losses, thus resistance is zero.


Is water a superconductor?

No, water is not a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with no resistance at very low temperatures. Water does not have the properties necessary to exhibit superconductivity.


How does a superconductor floating work?

A superconductor floating works by using the Meissner effect, which causes the superconductor to repel magnetic fields. This creates a magnetic field that locks the superconductor in place above a magnet, allowing it to float without any friction or resistance.
