Hi, I did a forum search on the topic , but from all the threads I went through I still have doubts about my understanding , please correct me.
Both superconductors and ordinary conductors are metals or metal alloys.Both have ion lattice and electrons that are the moving , current , heat carrying parts.
In ordinary conductor the electrons have higher kinetic energy at room temperature and when current flows they hit the ion lattice and so impart some of their energy to the lattice which results as heat.
in superconductor the electrons have much lower kinetic energy so electrons form pairs and the whole current in the length of the conductor is more like a solid stream , the electron current becomes a little ion lattice like?
