AI Thread Summary
A superconductor exhibits a stronger magnetic field due to its unique properties, including the absence of magnetic fields within its interior and zero electrical resistance. This leads to the Meissner effect, where the superconductor expels magnetic fields, allowing it to maintain a stable magnetic environment. According to Ampere's law, the magnetic field generated by a conductor is proportional to the current flowing through it, suggesting that a superconductor can produce a larger magnetic field when connected to a power source. The lack of resistance enables maximum current flow, enhancing the magnetic field compared to regular conductors. Understanding these principles is crucial for grasping the behavior of superconductors in magnetic fields.

But a superconductor doesn't have a magnetic field. It actively tries to counteract any changes in the magnetic flux passing through it, leading to the Meissner effect.

By Ampere's law, is not the magnetic field produced by a conductor proportional to the current through it? Would not then a superconductor have a bigger magnetic field compared to a regular conductor due to the lack of electrical resistance?

If you connect the superconductor to the same power source, yes, since you'll certainly short out the power source and make it deliver the maximum amount of current it can manage.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
