Superconductors

When the material is cooled to temperatures below its critical temperature, the electrical
resistivity of the material will drop to zero and the material will conduct electric current
without any resistance.
The superconductors are diamagnetic, i.e. the magnetic field is zero inside the
superconductor as the magnetic field is expelled from the interior of the superconductor.
When a magnetic field stronger than its critical magnetic field is applied, the
superconductivity will disappear.
Applications of superconductors:
1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
2. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
3. High speed maglev trains (Magnetic levitation)
