Electric field in super conductor

AI Thread Summary
In superconductors, the electric field is indeed zero in the bulk, similar to ideal conductors. However, the behavior near the surface or "skin" of superconductors is more complex, exhibiting dynamic properties that differ from the bulk. This complexity arises from the unique characteristics of superconductors, which can allow for certain electric fields to penetrate to some extent. The discussion highlights the distinction between ordinary conductors and superconductors, particularly in terms of their surface dynamics. Overall, while E=0 holds true in the bulk of superconductors, the surface behavior introduces additional factors to consider.

Is E=0 in super conductor also? I read in the below site that static electric field goes some depth into super conductor? Is this true? Classical physics says E=0 in conductor. so, what is the difference ordinary conductors and super conductors?

Did you read the article?

In an ideal conductor, there is no electric field. Same for a superconductor. Physical (super-)conductors are more complex. For example, you have a "skin" where there are a lot more dynamics than the bulk.
 
Many Thanks..
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
