Paragraph:Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a non-zero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature . An interesting property of superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than if they are placed in a magnetic field i.e., the critical temperature is a function of the magnetic field strength . The dependence of on is shown in the figure.
Question:In the graphs below, the resistance of a superconductor is shown as a function of its temperature for two different magnetic fields (solid line) and (dashed line). If is larger than , which of the following graphs shows the correct variation of with in these fields?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

If , critical temperature, (at which resistance of semiconductors abruptly becomes zero) in case-2 will be less than compared to case- 1 . The correct option is (a).
