Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature TC(0).
An interesting property of superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than TC(0) if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature TC(B) is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence
of TC(B) on B is shown in the figure.

A superconductor has TC(0) = 100 K. When a magnetic field of 7.5 Tesla is applied, its TC decreases to 75 K. For this material one can definitely say that when

A superconductor has TC(0) = 100 K. When a magnetic field of 7.5 Tesla is applied, its TC decreases to 75 K. For this material one can definitely say that when
- B = 5 Tesla, TC(B) = 80 K
- B = 5 Tesla, 75 K < TC(B) < 100 K
- B = 10 Tesla, 75 K < TC(B) < 100 K
- B = 10 Tesla, TC(B) = 70 K
Answer
(B) B = 5 Tesla, 75 K T C ( B ) < 100 K
