Which of the following best describes superconductors?
  1.conductors that have less than half the resistivity of iron
  2.conductors with essentially no resistance below a critical temperature, peculiar to each material
  3.conductors which have a drop in their resistivity as their temperatures are lowered
  4.Conductors are materials which are very useful in a variety of ways; hence the name superconductor.
