Definition

An electrical flow that occurs in a superconductor, allowing electricity to move without resistance.

Example

The supercurrent in the wire allowed for efficient energy transfer without any loss.

Conversation

Did you know that a supercurrent can flow without any resistance?

Really? That sounds fascinating!

Yeah, it's pretty cool how it works in superconductors.

I should read more about it; it seems like a game changer for technology.

Root Explanation

Supercurrent → It is formed from "super-" (meaning above or beyond) and "current" (from Latin "currere", meaning to run). The word "supercurrent" refers to a current that runs beyond normal limits, often used in the context of superconductivity.

Memory Tip

Think of something that runs 'beyond' ('super-') the usual flow ('current') — that's what supercurrent means.
