    Superconductivity is a phenomenon that occurs in certain materials at extremely low temperatures, characterized by exactly zero electrical resistance and the exclusion of interior magnetic fields. It was discovered in 1911 by Heike Kammerlingh Onnes, who observed mercury's resistance abruptly disappeared at 4.2K using liquid helium. Superconductivity has zero electrical resistance below a critical temperature, and materials can be tested for it by measuring their resistivity, which drops sharply to near zero at the critical temperature.

    Definition

     Superconductivity is a phenomenon occurring in certain materials


    at extremely low temperatures, characterised by exactly zero
    electrical resistance and exclusion of the interior magnetic field.

     This phenomenon is nothing but losing the resistivity absolutely


    when cooled to sufficient low temperatures.
    DISCOVERY

    • Superconductivity was discovered in 1911by Heike Kammerlingh Onnes, who


    studied the resistance of solid mercury at cryogenic temperatures using the recently
    discovered liquid helium as refrigerant.

    • At the temperature of 4.2k, he observed that the resistance abruptly disappears.

    • For this discovery he got the NOBEL PRIZE in physics in 1913.

    • In 1913 lead was found to super conduct at 7k.

    • In 1941 niobium nitride was found to super conduct at 16k


    PROPERTIES

    • Zero Electrical Resistance


    • Critical temperature
    • Quickest test
    • Resistivity (10-5Ωm)
