The characteristic of a superconductor is –
- AHigh permeability
- BLow permeability
- CZero permeability
- DInfinite permeability
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Zero permeability
Explanation
A superconductor has zero electrical resistance below a certain very low temperature. It also pushes magnetic field lines out of itself (the Meissner effect).
Since no magnetic field enters it, its magnetic permeability is zero: it is a perfect diamagnet.
