Superconductors: Resistance is Futile!
| Division: | International | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Annapolis Valley | | City: | Kingston, NS | | School: | École Rose-des-Vents | | Abstract: | The effect of temperature on electrical resistance was tested. Electrical resistance was found to decrease with temperature in a linear fashion and become zero at a superconducting critical temperature. Electrical resistance is a result of atomic lattice vibrations and a material’s resistivity is related to its number of free electrons. |
