    Lorentz force on superconducting wire?

    Thank you for all the responses. Now, please correct me if I am wrong, but here is what I am gathering... In the case of no wire motion: If the superconducting wire is infused with a current, and the wire shorted into a loop, it will keep that current. If that wire is placed in an external...

    Lorentz force on superconducting wire?

    Great, thank you for the response falcon32. I was getting confused by what was happening inside the wire, but it makes sense that there would still be a force if the current is subject to an external magnetic field on the surface of the wire. So, I suppose this has a follow up question. If...

    Lorentz force on superconducting wire?

    Hello, I've been trying to puzzle this one out and even the mighty internet has not been particularly helpful, so here goes: Say you have a current carrying copper wire perpendicular to a magnetic field. Let's give some values for clarity: the length of the wire is 1m, the current is 3A...
