Even if you put a superconductor across the terminals of a voltage source the current would be finite as all real voltage sources have a resistance. A circuit with a voltage source with no resistance does not exist.

The fundamental problem is that the Ohm's law is a simple mathematical approximation, neglecting the V-A characteristic of a real source, resistance of wires, or even nonlinear physical response of materials under extreme conditions. Using this approximation outside of its scope leads to a "0/0" problem, which is obviously wrong. Some other physical ...

In such circuit see that all resistance at rim have same potential, since no resistance reduced it. At rim all have same potential as that at $a$. At center all have same potential as that at $b$ So, all have same potential difference $V_{a} - V_{b}$ Same potential difference means that they are connected in parallel.

The reason to use the alloy is because it has a much higher resistivity than copper and so the alloy wire will have a higher resistance which with standard laboratory apparatus can be measured more accurately. I also seem to remember that the temperature of coefficient is lower for some of these alloys ie for a given increase in temperature the resistance ...
