What is superconductor?Superconductors have two outstanding features:
1) Zero electrical resistivity. • This means that an electrical current in a
superconducting ring continues indefinitely until a force is applied to oppose the current.
2) The magnetic field inside a bulk sample is zero (the Meissner effect).
• When a magnetic field is applied current flows in the outer skin of the material leading to an induced magnetic field that exactly opposes the applied field.
• The material is strongly diamagnetic as a result. • In the Meissner effect experiment, a magnet
floats above the surface of the superconductor

WHAT IS SUPERCONDUCTIVITY ?
For some materials, the resistivity vanishes at some low temperature: they become superconducting.
Superconductivity is the ability of
certain materials to conduct
electrical current with no
resistance. Thus, superconductors
can carry large amounts of current
with little or no loss of energy.
Type I superconductors: pure metals, have low critical field
Type II superconductors: primarily of alloys or inter-metallic compounds.

The Critical Field
• An important characteristic of all superconductors is that the superconductivity is "quenched" when the material is exposed to a sufficiently high magnetic field.
• This magnetic field, Hc, is called the critical field. • Type II superconductors have two critical fields. • The first is a low-intensity field, Hc1, which partially
suppresses the superconductivity. • The second is a much higher critical field, Hc2, which
totally quenches the superconductivity.

The Critical Field
• The critical field, HC, that destroys the superconducting effect obeys a parabolic law of the form:
where Ho = constant, T = temperature, Tc = critical temperature.
• In general, the higher Tc, the higher Hc.

Types I Superconductors
• There are 30 pure metals which exhibit zero resistivity at low temperature.
• They are called Type I superconductors (Soft Superconductors).
• The superconductivity exists only below their critical temperature and below a critical magnetic field strength.

Type II Superconductors
• Starting in 1930 with lead-bismuth alloys, were found which exhibited superconductivity; they are called Type II superconductors (Hard Superconductors).
• They were found to have much higher critical fields and therefore could carry much higher current densities while remaining in the superconducting state.

The cable configuration features a conductor made from HTS wires wound around a flexible hollow core. Liquid nitrogen flows through the core, cooling the HTS wire to the zero resistance state.
The conductor is surrounded by conventional dielectric insulation. The efficiency of this design reduces losses.

APPLICATIONS: SuperconductingMagnetic Levitation
The track are walls with a continuous series of vertical coils of wire mounted inside. The wire in these coils is not a superconductor.
As the train passes each coil, the motion of the superconducting magnet on the train induces a current in these coils, making them electromagnets.
The electromagnets on the train and outside produce forces that levitate the train and keep it centered above the track. In addition, a wave of electric current sweeps down these outside coils and propels the train forward.
