Electrical resistance
Using the flow analogy, electrical resistance is similar to friction. For
water flowing through a pipe, a long narrow pipe provides more
resistance to the flow than does a short fat pipe.
The same applies for flowing currents: long thin wires provide more
resistance than do short thick wires.
The resistance (R) of a material depends on its length, cross-sectional
area, and the resistivity (the Greek letter rho), a number that depends on
the material:
0.15

Superconductors come in two different flavors:
Aluminum - 1.175 °K

Meissner effect
Transition temperature is the temperature at which a material changes from one crystal
state (allotrope) to another. For example, when rhombic sulfur is heated above 96°C it
changes form into monoclinic sulfur. When cooled below 96°C it reverts to rhombic sulfur.
The magnetic inductance becomes zero inside the
superconductor when it is cooled below TC and the magnetic
flux is expelled from the interior of the superconductor.
They detected this effect only indirectly; because the magnetic flux is
conserved by a superconductor, when the interior field decreased the
exterior field increased. The experiment demonstrated for the first
time that superconductors were more than just perfect conductors and
provided a uniquely defining property of the superconducting state.
In a weak applied field, a
superconductor "ejects" nearly all
magnetic flux.

Thermal Properties of Superconductors
The thermal conductivity of superconductors undergoes
a continuous change between the two phases and usually
lower in a superconducting phase and at very low
temperatures approaches zero.
