b) Discuss possible applications of superconductivity and the effects of those applications on computers, generators, and motors and transmission of electricity through power grid



i've done the research and it's basically about what superconductor is. and i've just talked about maglev train for it's application. will it do?

if not...what do i have to do??

No its not.

You will need to describe an effect of using superconductors in each of computers, generators, and motors and transmission wires.
Then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using them in each.

You could talk about how much energy is lost in transmittion of power through the power grid. Then say how wonderful it would be if we could put superconductors everywhere.

Do a small aside about the history of superconductivity and the research into HTS.

There exist plenty of whacky theories about superconductivity and computing; try search 'spintronic'.


Tip: Use the word 'society' as often as possible.

How about the use as a tool for getting people locked into physics degrees at uni.
