At critical temperature, the resistivity of the superconductor
B. It suddenly drops to zero
Explanation:
Materials can be classified into three different types depending on their resistance:
- Conductors: these materials have generally low resistance and allow electricity to pass through easily. The resistance of a conductor increases linearly with the temperature
- Insulators: these materials do not allow electricity to pass through - so they have very high resistance
- Semi-conductors: these are materials that are insulators are room temperature, however they becomes conductors when heated. Therefore, the resistance of a semiconductor decreases when the temperature increases
- Superconductors: these are special materials that are normally conductors; however, at very low temperatures (we are talking about temperature very near to 0 K), their resistance becomes suddenly zero.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. It suddenly drops to zero
