What is the proximity effect in superconductivity?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
The influence of a superconducting material on the properties of a nearby normal metal.
💡 Explanation:
The proximity effect is the phenomenon in which the superconducting properties of a material can extend into a nearby normal metal, even if the normal metal is not itself superconducting. This can occur when the two materials are in close proximity, such as when they are in physical contact or separated by a thin insulating layer.
