The uses of superconductors are as follows:
  1. Superconductors are used to make extremely powerful electromagnets to accelerate charged particles very fast.
  2. Used in Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains. These work because a superconductor repels a magnetic field so a magnet will float above a superconductor – this virtually eliminates the friction between the train and the track
  3. The development of superconductors has improved the field of MRI as the superconducting magnet can be smaller and more efficient than an equivalent conventional magnet.
  4. They are also used in microwaves.
