A normal conductor has resistance. A superconductor has no resistance.

But to make superconductors a very low temperature is required.

High-temperature supeconductors require a temperature of minus 203 degrees C, ordinary superconductors require substantially lower temperatures.

Why are superconductors not commonly used?

Superconductors are not commonly used because they require extremely low temperatures to function, which makes them expensive and difficult to maintain. Additionally, superconductors can only carry limited amounts of current before they lose their superconducting properties. This limits their practical applications in everyday technologies.

How does quantum entanglement play a role in the behavior of superconductors?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where particles become connected in a way that their properties are correlated, even when separated by large distances. In superconductors, quantum entanglement can play a role in the behavior of electrons, allowing them to move without resistance. This is because entangled electrons can share information instantaneously, leading to the unique properties of superconductivity.

Why superconductors are not used often in everyday activities?

Because at present all superconductors must be super-cooled in a coolant such as liquid nitrogen to become superconductors.


What are most modern high temperature superconductors made of?

Resistance decreases with the decrease of temperature. Superconductors are made by lowering the temperature.


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.

Which material is affected most by flux lines?

Superconductors are the materials most affected by magnetic flux lines. In a superconducting state, they expel magnetic fields through the Meissner effect, leading to the formation of quantized flux lines (or vortices) in type-II superconductors when exposed to external magnetic fields. These flux lines can influence the material's properties, including its critical current and magnetic behavior, making superconductors unique in their interaction with magnetic fields.


Certain materials can become superconductors unedr what conditions?

Certain materials become superconductors when cooled to very low temperatures, usually near absolute zero. This allows them to conduct electricity with zero resistance, leading to unique properties like the expulsion of magnetic fields and the ability to levitate.


Is a superconductor a metal or nonmetal?

Only a few of the materials that have been supercooled have become superconductors, and not all of those are metals. There have even been some organic superconductors discovered.
