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 intermetallic compounds

B
When you place a superconductor in a magnetic field, the field is expelled below TC.
Magnet
Superconductor
Currents i appear, to cancel B.
i x B on the superconductor
produces repulsion.

A superconductor displaying the MEISSNER EFFECT
Superconductors have electronic and magnetic properties. That is, they have a
negative susceptibility, and acquire a polarization OPPOSITE to an applied magnetic
field. This is the reason that superconducting materials and magnets repel one
another.
If the temperature increases the sample will lose its superconductivity and the
magnet cannot float on the superconductor.

APPLICATIONS:
Superconducting
Magnetic 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.

APPLICATIONS: Medical
The superconducting magnet coils produce a large and
uniform magnetic field inside the patient's body.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans produce detailed images
of soft tissues.

APPLICATIONS: Power
Superconducting Transmission Cable
From American Superconductor
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.
