Superconductors are those elements – (1) Whose conductivity is intermediate between metals and insulators (2) Whose resistance falls almost to zero at very low temperature (3) Which conduct electricity only at super-high temperature (4) Which conduct electricity only, at super-high temperatures

1 Answer

Answer :

(2) Whose resistance falls almost to zero at very low temperature Explanation: Superconductivity is a phenomenon of exactly zero electrical resistance and expulsion of magnetic fields occurring in certain materials when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature. It is characterized by the Meissner effect, the complete ejection of magnetic field lines from the interior of the superconductor as it transitions into the superconducting state.
