Using the textbook equation for temperature dependence, estimate the temperature where the resistivity of lead should be zero, i.e. it becomes a superconductor. Note: Regardless of your estimate, the textbook model fails. Lead becomes a superconductor at 7K and below.8. Estimate the temperature that copper is predicted to become a superconductor. Note: Copper never actually becomes a superconductor even down to near 0K.9. Estimate the temperature that silicon is predicted to become a superconductor. Note: Silicon, slightly doped with impurities, achieves superconductivity even down to near 0K.10. An electrical cable consists of 125 strands, each with a resistance of 2.65 .
