Working of Superconductors
Superconductors are ordinary conductors at normal temperatures, when the temperature goes below a certain temperature, also called critical temperature, superconductors start forming cooper bonds and these bonds help them provide zero resistance, once the temperature increases these cooper bonds break and they loose their superconductive properties.
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.
