Chapter 21, Problem 21.192QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The importance of discovery made by Bednorz and Muller which was awarded Nobel Prize in $1986$ has to be described.

Concept Introduction:

Superconductor is a conductor with zero resistance to electric current – not completely zero but almost close to zero.  The conductor has such low resistance when cooled to a certain temperature that it becomes superconductor.  As there is almost no resistance heat loss is prevented in case of superconductors.
