Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.36QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Superconductivity at room temperature is sometimes a subject of science fiction or
fantasy. For example, in the movie Terminator 2: Judgment Day, a cyborg has a
CPU that contains a room-temperature superconductor. How might a computer with such a CPU differ in design from current computers has to be explained
Concept Introduction:
- Superconductors are substance, which allows flow of electrons without any resistance at certain temperature called as critical temperature, and the phenomenon is called as superconductivity. In other words, superconductors are materials that allows pass of electricity with no resistance. Certain metals, alloys or ceramics are used as superconductors
- Superconductors at critical temperature or superconducting transition temperature (
- Superconductor could be used for the magnetic levitation of trains to reduce the friction between the trains and the track.

Why are resistors important in an electrical circuit?
) Resistors only allow a current to flow in one direction and can change alternating currents to direct currents.
Resistors are electrical components that help to control the flow of the current in a circuit; they restrict the flow of electrons.
) Resistors consist of two pieces of conducting material separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. They are often used as timing devices, but they can transform electrical currents in other ways, too.
) Resistors can switch tiny electric currents on and off or amplify them.

In the past, soap was produced by hydrolysis of animal fats with lye (a sodium hydroxide solution). Suggest an equation for this reaction. The difference between fats and oils is that one is solid at room temperature and the other is liquid. Solid fats are generally derived from animals, while oils are found in plants. The melting points of these compounds are indicated by the number of C=C double bonds present (or degree of unsaturation). The larger the number of C=C double bonds, the lower the melting point and the more likely the compound to be liquid. Please explain.arrow_forwardWhat are microelectrodesarrow_forward
