Sure no problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnet#Persistent_mode Go down until persistent mode. The end of that paragraph reads: "The winding current, and the magnetic field, will not actually persist forever, but will decay slowly according to a normal inductive (L/R) time...

I cam across SMES (Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) while researching superconducting and had a few questions I'm hoping to have answered. 1. I have read that SMES devices are primary used in the event for short interruptions in power, and aiding in efficiency in the power grid. Can a...
