SUMMARY
A direct current (DC) supplied to a superconductor does not emit electromagnetic radiation, regardless of the shape of the superconductor. The discussion clarifies that while a magnetic field is generated during the turn-on transient of the current, a continuous DC maintains a stable magnetic field without producing radiation. The key factor for radiation is a changing dipole moment, which does not occur in a steady DC scenario.
