Pre-Lab Questions to Lab 9 - Magnetic Field of a Current in a Superconducting Ring

  1. Re-arrange Eq. 2 into the form of a linear equation (B-2/3 vs. z2), and show that Eq. 3 holds.

  2. Show how the B vs. t graph (Eq. 4) can be plotted as a straight line.

  3. Search the internet for information on applications of superconductors .  Choose what you feel to be the most interesting application from your search, print it, and write a short (1-2 paragraph) summary of the the application.
