    Understanding the Mechanism of Magnetic Field Opposition in Perfect Conductors

    In a theoretical perfect conductor, when it is placed into an already existing magnetic field it equally opposes the field. This is due to the induced current within it giving rise to a new magnetic field that opposes the existing one. However when a superconductor is already in the magnetic...

    Meissner effect and superconductor

    Hi From what I understand the Meissner effect occurs when a current is induced in a superconductor, from a magnet, giving rise to a magnetic field from the superconductor that opposes the magnet. What stops the magnet from being completely repelled away from the superconductor when it is...
