Quick question:

The current on a perfectly conducting plane of infinitessimally small thickness is equal to H on one side of the plane minus H on the other side, right?

Thanks!

True, for type I and type II superconductors (ignoring Meissner effect and Cooper pair dimensions) if you meant current density.
