    Graduate Why does the Meissner effect exclude magnetic fields without using Lenz's law?

    Wow that was quite confusing! I'm only in Year 12 (final year of high school) so I have no idea what superfluid, Lorentz fofrce move or quantized vortex lines are... But isn't Newton's Third law the law of conservation? (e.g. every action has an equal and opposite reaction) I thought it was...

    Graduate Why does the Meissner effect exclude magnetic fields without using Lenz's law?

    Hi, I am quite confused about how the Meissner Effect works. I know that below the critical temperature of a superconductor, it will exclude all magnetic fields going through it. But why is this so? And I also know that as a magnet is brought near the surface of a cooled superconductor...
