Niobium Metal Becomes a Superconductor (With Electrical Resistance Equal to Zero)

Question 52

Multiple Choice

Niobium metal becomes a superconductor (with electrical resistance equal to zero) when cooled below 9 K. If superconductivity is destroyed when the surface magnetic field exceeds 0.100 T, determine the maximum current a 2.00-mm diameter niobium wire can carry and remain superconducting. (µ0 = 4 π\pi *10-7 T.m/A)
