5 Questions
What is the state of matter that a superconductor achieves when it has no electrical resistance and does not allow magnetic fields to penetrate?
Superconductivity
What happens to the electrical resistance of a superconductor when it is cooled below a certain threshold temperature?
It dramatically loses all electrical resistance
What type of current can superconductors allow to flow without any energy loss?
Supercurrent
At what temperature does superconductivity typically occur?
Very cold temperatures
What happens to the electrical resistance of a material that achieves superconductivity when it is cooled below a certain temperature?
Its electrical resistance drops to zero
