Describe two main features of a superconductor.
How does BCS theory explain superconductivity?
BSC theory explains superconductivity in terms of the interactions between electron pairs (Cooper pairs). One electron in a pair interacts with the lattice, which interacts with the second electron. The combine electron-lattice-electron interaction binds the electron pair together in a way that overcomes their mutual repulsion.
What is the Meissner effect?
What impact does an increasing magnetic field have on the critical temperature of a semiconductor?
As the magnitude of the magnetic field is increased, the critical temperature decreases.
At what temperature, in terms of , is the critical field of a superconductor one-half its value at ?
What is the critical magnetic field for lead at ?
A Pb wire wound in a tight solenoid of diameter of 4.0 mm is cooled to a temperature of 5.0 K. The wire is connected in series with a resistor and a variable source of emf. As the emf is increased, what value does it have when the superconductivity of the wire is destroyed?
61 kV
A tightly wound solenoid at 4.0 K is 50 cm long and is constructed from Nb wire of radius 1.5 mm. What maximum current can the solenoid carry if the wire is to remain superconducting?
