Question 6 • Physics

It has been known for many years that ceramics can conduct electricity. In 2008, scientists found a ceramic material that can conduct electricity with no resistance at 133 K. What is the most important significance of this 2008 finding?

Answer
A
Ceramic materials have been known to be able to conduct electricity prior to year 2008.
B
This is a lower temperature than Onnes’s experiment, and it will allow for a broader use of superconductors.
C
Materials that can conduct electricity with no resistance are new and can allow for new materials to be made.
D
This is a higher temperature than Onnes’s experiment, and it will allow for a broader use of superconductors.
