When a galvanic reaction reclaims its (single) electron, magnetic energy (about 0.356 eV) within a superconductor will remain, w/o a means of replacing the galvanic electron.

During the reaction, electrical current from the single electron would correspond to the number of times per second this electron passes through any cross-section within the circuit.

The only scenario that avoids a conservation of energy violation is the addition of magnetic energy w/o the addition or removal of an electron to/from the external circuit.

Within this scenario, magnetic energy exists within the superconductor, w/o electron movement. Otherwise, an electron w/ 0.356 eV would charge the galvanic cell.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
