Application of Superconductors
Some application of superconductors are:
- Generation and transmission of electric power as they have zero resistance.
- Medical diagnosis where MRI is needed.
- Making of Supercomputers
- Magnetic Energy storage Devices.
- High power transmission lines and Superconducting transformers.
Superconducters
Superconductors are those elements that conduct electricity without resistance after they become colder than a particular temperature, which is also called “critical temperature”. At this temperature, electrons move freely through the material hence they become superconductors.
Ordinary conductors, such as copper gradually get more conductive with a decrease in temperature but superconductors like metals mercury get conductive all at once, after the critical temperature. This is also called phase transition.
In this article, we will study superconductor definitions, types of superconductors, properties of superconductors, working of superconductors, applications of superconductors and others in detail.
