Answer:

The scientist is observing an intensive property of a superconductor.

Step-by-step explanation:

An intensive property of an object can be described as a physical property of matter that does not change with size or amount of matter of the object. In other words, an intensive property is independent of the mass or size of an object.

For example, electrical resistance or conductivity of an object does not depend on the size or mass of an object. if an object is a conductor, it will conduct electricity independent of the size of the object.
