Superconductor Experiment (1 Viewer)

[Byron is bored]

the aim of the experiment is: To perform an investigation in which you can observe the levitation of a magnet above a superconductor. however im having a bit of trouble coming up with an appropriate conclusion to it. if anyone has some ideas plz post them.

your school has a superconductor?

yep the ones we have r Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide we got the liquid nitrogen to cool them with as well (ur reply didnt help :mad1: )

With an aim like that, it would be hard to come up with a conclusion other than

"We observed the levitation of a magnet above a superconductor when..."

Did you formulate the aim, or did a text book? Perhaps nail down your aim to be more specific and then your conclusion can be more specific. The trick to conducting an experiment is asking the right question in the aim in the first place.

eg (not a very good one)

Aim: To determine the temperature that a superconductor of XXX must be cooled in order for a magnet to levitate above it.
