9.8 Exercise 8

Avg difficulty 2.5

A Pb wire wound in a tight solenoid of diameter of 4.0 mm is cooled to a temperature of 5.0 K. The wire is connected in series with a 50-Ω50 - \Omega resistor and a variable source of emf. As the emf is increased, what value does it have when the superconductivity of the wire is destroyed?
