What is the highest critical temperature of superconductor?

133 Kelvin, about -140 Celsius. This is the critical temperature of a mercury -based superconductor. It contains copper-oxide, a common theme, I believe, in high temperature superconductors


Why is there gold in circuit boards?

firstly, Only on Certain circuit boards. secondly, gold is a malleable, non-corroding/rusting conductive metal. gold has the lowest resistance to the flow of electricity through it; this side of a superconductor.


Do trees conduct electricity?

ABSOLUTELY TREES CONDUCT ELECTRICITY - CALL THE POWER COMPANY !!It is simple really. Trees conduct electricity and they are connected to the ground. Electric power wants nothing more than to go to ground though any available path (normally we try to force it though lights or motors as it goes to ground, so that we get value out of it, but it really only wants to get to ground). The electric wires running along poles are bare and isolated from paths to ground at each pole by insulators. So when a tree branch touches a wire, electricity gets to do what it wants . . . it flows through the tree to ground.No trees do not conduct electricity, wood is an insulator not a conductor**Added to answer**I almost said YES trees do conduct electricity. HOWEVER the first post here is technically correct.Trees when alive APEAR to conduct electricity because of the moisture. When the wood is dried out however then there is no conductivity so therefore trees themselves to not conduct.from mike.haxeltine@btinternet.com - I am trying validate tree hugging in terms of community health - I am working on gained wisdom that trees produce electricity and can give if out - it appears that rees resonate at 7.8 Hz like soil and out brains - so trees must have some blancing function.Sap flow in subtle energy terms generates subtle energy like any other liquid flowing through a channel - can it takes energy from humans - will infra red play a part in commnciating this energy - and if that does happen can trees takes in elctromagnetic smog energy and dissapate it into the soil like earthing a lightening strikeHave you formerly tested tree huggingHave you used Bovis Units to test your resaerchHave you researched trees are earthrs of electonic pollutionCan I quote your reserach please m ichael**its not technically correct. trees do conduct electricity. trees are made up of cells just like you and i. trees are living things and electricity will pass through them as easily it would through you if you grab a high voltage power line. lumber on the other hand is not a living thing and is made from trees that have been cut down and no longer alive. if you died you would eventually dry out as well. DO NOT GO NEAR A TREE THAT IS TOUCHING A POWER LINE. CALL YOUR LOCAL POWER COMPANY AND THEY WILL MOST LIKELY SEND SOMEONE TO TRIM THE TREE.


How must an electrical switch be wired to function with a device?

So that when the switch is in the open position the circuit is open and electricity cannot complete the circuit. When the switch is closed it completes the circuit and electricity flows completing the circuit and powering the device.

Can aluminum foil turn into a superconductor?

No, aluminum foil cannot turn into a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance, whereas aluminum foil is a good conductor of electricity but not a superconductor. Superconductivity requires specific materials and conditions that aluminum foil does not possess.


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.


Does camphor conduct electricity?

No, camphor does not conduct electricity. It is a type of organic compound, so it cannot ionize to conduct electricity.


Is plasma a superconductor?

No, plasma is not a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance when cooled to very low temperatures, while plasma is an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons.


Can silk conduct electricity?

No silk cannot conduct electricity and Benjamin franklin figured that out.


What is the best way to conduct electricity?

With a superconductor. Even better with a room temperature super conductor, of course you'll have to make hydrogen metal for that.


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.


What is the conductivity of superconductor?

Superconductors have zero electrical resistance, which means they have infinite conductivity. This allows them to conduct electricity without any loss of energy.


A superconductor performs best at?

A superconductor performs best at extremely low temperatures close to absolute zero, around -273 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the material exhibits zero electrical resistance and can conduct electricity with maximum efficiency without any energy loss.


Does oxygen conduct electricity?

oxygen does not conduct electricity because it is a gas that we breath in and a gas that we cannot see so it cannot conduct electricity.


When elements are bonded with ionic bonds what are their electrical conductivity?

Solid ionic compounds cannot conduct electricity because there are no mobile ions or electrons present in the lattice, The ions cannot move out of the lattice, so the solid cannot conduct electricity, but Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution (the ions are released from the lattice structure and are free to move).


Why doesn't sodium oxide conduct electricity?

Sodium oxide is an insulator because its atoms are held together by ionic bonds, which means that the electrons are tightly bound to the atoms and cannot move freely to conduct electricity. In order for a material to conduct electricity, it needs to have free moving electrons, which is not the case for sodium oxide.
