Superconductivity characterized by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Superconductivity characterized by:
A. Infinite resistance
B. High conductivity only
C. Zero resistance below T_c
D. Zero permeability
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Superconductors: zero electrical resistance below critical temperature T_c, plus Meissner effect (expel magnetic fields). Memory aid: 'Superconductor: R=0 below T_c; perfect diamagnetism'. Modern physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
The phenomenon of superconductivity is characterized by:
A. Zero magnetic permeability
B. Infinite electrical resistance
C. Zero electrical resistance below critical temperature
D. High thermal conductivity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Superconductivity occurs in certain materials below a critical temperature T_c, where electrical resistance drops abruptly to zero, and magnetic fields are expelled (Meissner effect). Option B describes insulators; C and D are unrelated. Memory aid: 'Superconductor: R=0 below T_c; perfect diamagnetism'. This modern physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish superconductivity (zero resistance) from perfect conductivity (theoretical limit); real superconductors exhibit Meissner effect, a defining property.

Question #2
Myopia (nearsightedness) is corrected by using
A. Convex lens
B. Bifocal lens
C. Concave lens
D. Cylindrical lens

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Myopic eye focuses image in front of retina. A diverging (concave) lens spreads light so image falls on retina. Hypermetropia (farsightedness) corrected by convex lens. Bifocals for presbyopia. Cylindrical for astigmatism.

Question #3
An echo is heard from a cliff after 3 s. If speed of sound is 340 m/s, distance of cliff is
A. 510 m
B. 170 m
C. 340 m
D. 1020 m

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
d = v × t / 2 = 340 × 3 / 2 = 510 m.
