It has been known for many years that ceramics can conduct electricity. in 2008, scientists found a ceramic material that can conduct electricity with no resistance at 133 k. what is the most important significance of this 2008 finding?
this is a lower temperature than onnes’s experiment, and it will allow for a broader use of superconductors.
this is a higher temperature than onnes’s experiment, and it will allow for a broader use of superconductors. (this is the answer)
materials that can conduct electricity with no resistance are new and can allow for new materials to be made.
ceramic materials have been known to be able to conduct electricity prior to year 2008.

The second largest public utility in the nation is the sole provider of electricity in 32 counties of southern florida. to meet the monthly demand for electricity in these counties, which is given by the inverse demand function p = 1,200 – 4q, the utility company has set up two electric generating facilities: q1 kilowatts are produced at facility 1, and q2 kilowatts are produced at facility 2 (so q = q1 + q2). the costs of producing electricity at each facility are given by c1(q1) = 8,000 + 6q12 and c2(q2) = 6,000 + 3q22, respectively. determine the profit-maximizing amounts of electricity to produce at the two facilities, the optimal price, and the utility company’s profit
