Why can current persist in a superconductor in the absence of any applied voltage ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since there is no `I^2R` loss in a superconductor, the current will continue to persist in a superconductor.

When an alternating voltage of 220 V is applied across a device P , a current of 0.25 A flows through the circuit and it leads the applied voltage by a angle pi/2 radian. When the same voltage source is connected across another device Q , the same current is observed in the circuit but in phase with the applied voltage. What is the current when the same source is connected across a series combination of P and Q ?
