The electrical resistivity of a metallic conductor decreases gradually as the temperature is lowered. However, in ordinary conductors such as copper and silver, impurities and other defects impose a lower limit. Even near absolute zero a real sample of copper shows a non-zero resistance. The resistance of a superconductor, on the other hand, drops abruptly to zero when the material is cooled below its "critical temperature". An electric current flowing in a loop of super conducting wire can persist indefinitely with no power source. Like ferromagnetism and atomic spectral lines, superconductivity is a quantum mechanical phenomenon. It cannot be understood simply as the idealization of "perfect conductivity" in classical physics.
Superconductivity occurs in a wide variety of materials, including simple elements like tin and aluminum, various metallic alloys and some heavily-doped semiconductors. Superconductivity does not occur in noble metals like gold and silver, nor in most ferromagnetic metals.
Is leasing right for you? Great question. If you typically drive 15,000 miles per year or less, then leasing may be your best option. Leasing requires less cash up front than buying. And because monthly payments are lower than with traditional financing, you may be able to afford to drive a higher-priced model by leasing.
If the small down payment and low monthly payments of a lease appeal to you, but you prefer to own your vehicle, you may want to consider our alternative financing program. The Leadership Purchase Plan™ combines the benefits of leasing with the satisfaction of ownership. Sound good?
