Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a nonzero value of zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature `T_(C) (0)`. An interesting property of super conductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than `T_(C) (0)` if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature `T_(C) (B)` is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence of `T_(C) (B)` on B is shown in the figure.
.
In the graphs below, the resistance R of a superconductor is shown as a function of its temperature T for two different magnetic fields `B_1`(solid line) and `B_2` (dashed line). If `B_2` is larget than `B_1` which of the following graphs shows the correct variation of R with T in these fields?

Options

A.
B.
C.
D.

Answer

A

Explanation

If `B_(2)gtB_(1)`, critical temperature, (at which resistance of semiconductors abruptly becomes zero) in case 2 will be less than compared to case 1 .
`:.` The correct option is (A)
