Measured using an Electrical Conductivity meter, what is the order of resistivity of superconducting materials?

Measured using an Electrical Conductivity meter, what is the order of resistivity of superconducting materials? Correct Answer 0

The resistivity of superconducting materials is 0 since they conduct all electricity and resist none of it. Metals have the resistivity of the order of 10-8 while that of insulators is of the order of 1016. Since maximum electricity is refused by super-insulators, their resistivity is ∞.

Select the option that is true regarding the following two statements labeled Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Assertion (A): Whenever we measure an electrical signal, there are chances of over current which leads to overheating of the meter. In such cases, the meter can be protected by using a semiconductor diode of suitable rating. Reason (R): As soon as the diode is short-circuited, the meter current is diverted through the diode. As a result, the meter is being protected from excess heating.
