The metal thallium becomes superconducting at temperatures below 2.39K. Calculate the temperature at which thallium becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius. Round your answer to decimal places.

Sagot :

Answer:

-270.76°C

Explanation:

Given that metal Thallium becomes superconducting below the temperature of 2.39 kelvin i.e. this temperature is critical temperature for Thallium and below critical temperature a metal offers no resistance to the flow of electric current. Also the metal below its critical temperature expels the magnetic field in such a way that they do not penetrate the metal and pass through its surface only.

We have the relation between kelvin scale and degree Celsius scale of temperature measurement as:

[tex]C = K - 273.15[/tex]

[tex]C=2.39-273.15\\ C=-270.76^{o}C[/tex]
