We currently don't know of any room temperature superconductors; we've managed to find some "high temperature" superconductors, but "high" in this case means "liquid nitrogen temperatures" ... about two hundred degrees Celsius below zero. The lowest naturally occurring temperature ever recorded on Earth is about 184K ... about fifty degrees Celsius above the point at which the highest-known-temperature superconductor becomes superconducting.

Why are scientists trying to make superconductors that can work at warmer temperatures?

Because refrigerating superconductors to the cryogenic temperatures needed by current ones is expensive, severely limiting the applications they are used in.Metallic superconductors need cooling to the temperature of liquid helium.Copper oxide ceramic superconductors need cooling to the temperature of liquid nitrogen.Room temperature superconductors, if they exist, would need little or no cooling.


What are properties of a superconductors what they are?

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled below a certain critical temperature. They also exhibit the Meissner effect, which expels magnetic fields from their interior. Superconductors have a critical magnetic field above which they cease to superconduct.


What is the use of resistance in a LC circuit?

every inductor has some resistance. In circuit diagram, ideal inductor is shown in series with a resistor(value being equal to coil's resistance) to make analysis easy.

How do you make room temperature superconductors?

As of March 2015, nobody has managed to make those so far, so you can't really expect us to give you the recipe here.


Can we use a DC source with an inductor?

Yes, an inductor allows DC to pass through it. An inductor resists a change in current, proportional to inductance and voltage. At equilibirum, an ideal inductor has zero impedance. The differential equation for an inductor is di/dt = v / l


When you disconnect a small voltage battery from a coil of many loops of wire and a large voltage is produced by what?

Disconnecting a small voltage source from a coil (inductor) causes a larger, often a much larger, reverse voltage spike due to the collapse of the magnetic field in the inductor coupled with the sudden absence of a current path to dissipate the electromagnetic energy. An inductor resists a change in current. The equation for an inductor is ... di/dt = V/L ... which means that the rate of change of current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to inductance. If you have a current established in an inductor, and then suddenly open the circuit, the inductor will attempt to maintain that current. It can't, however, because the circuit is open, having large resistance. By ohm's law, voltage is resistance times current. If you keep current constant, and make resistance large, then voltage has to also be large. In the theoretical case of an ideal inductor in an ideal circuit, the voltage spike would have infinite voltage. In practice, we see spikes of several hundred to several thousand volts, depending on the particular cirsumstances.


What is the importance of superconductors?

Superconductivity is a phenomenon that occurs when a substance (typically metallic or ceramic) reaches its "critical temperature" (Tc) and loses all electrical resistance. This occurrence takes place at extremely low temperatures, which renders much of the scientific potential difficult to apply to real life situations.Scientists are currently working on developing superconductors that are closer to room temperature, an improvement which would make superconductors much more important to everybody. Superconductors have the potential to carry an electric charge across an infinite distance without losing any energy whatsoever, and also block out magnetic fields because of the Meissner Effect. If controlled in room temperature, it would be possible to transport electricity from a power plant on Earth to a residential area on Mars, create lightning-fast computer circuits with no resistance, develop weapons such as quickly-reloadable rail guns, and transportation possibilities such as biohazard-free levitating trains.


How do you make the word coil into a noun?

The word coil already is a noun, as in "a coil of rope."


Does turning thermostat temperature to higher temp make the air coming out of vents hotter on central ac with heat coil. Significant other swears it does and trying to settle dispute?

Turning the thermostat to a higher temperature does not make the air coming out of the vents hotter on a central AC with a heat coil. The temperature setting on the thermostat simply tells the system when to stop cooling or heating, but it doesn't affect the actual temperature of the air being produced. The heat coil or furnace is responsible for heating the air, not the thermostat setting.


How do you make DC electric clean?

To remove fluctuations and make dc steadier, you can put an inductor in series and/or a capacitor in parallel.
