A superconductor is a substance that conducts electricity without resistance when it becomes colder than a "critical temperature." At this temperature, electrons can move freely through the material. Superconductors are different from ordinary conductors, even very good ones.

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. . A superconductor has T_(C) (0) = 100 K . When a magnetic field of 7.5 Tesla is applied , its T_(C) decreases to 75 K. For this material one can difinitely say that when
