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...

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...

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...
