On the magnetic field in the Meissner effect

AI Thread Summary
In the Meissner effect, the magnetic field from a magnet bypasses the superconductor, leading to questions about changes in the magnetic field's intensity at specific locations. The concept of "flux focusing" is introduced, indicating that the local magnetic flux can increase significantly due to the presence of the superconductor, potentially resulting in a tenfold increase in practical applications. When comparing the ampere forces between an energized conductor and a magnet with and without a superconductor, it is suggested that the force with the superconductor (F1) can be greater than without it (F2). This occurs because the magnetic field must find an alternative path to close the loop, enhancing the magnetic field in the surrounding space. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these interactions in superconducting systems.

As shown in the figure, in the Meisner effect, the magnetic field of the magnet bypasses the superconductor. My question is, does the magnetic B field belonging to the magnet increase at the arrow indicating position?
Or is there no change in the intensity of the magnetic field that belongs to the magnet? Is it just the superposition of the magnetic field of the magnet and the magnetic field of the superconductor?.
Is it also possible to ask, assuming that the energized conductor is placed at the position of the arrow, regardless of the force between the energized conductor and the superconductor, the ampere force between the energized conductor and the magnet is F1. The ampere force between the energized wire and the magnet after removal of the superconductor is F2, can F1 be greater than F2?

Yes, the local flux can increase due to the presence of the superconductor. This is known as "flux focusing".
Essentially, the field has to "go" somewhere to close the loop, and since it can't pass through the superconductor it has to go through the space in between.

Flux focusing can be quite significant; in many practical applications (e.g. superconducting coplanar waveguides) it can easily give you a factor ~10 increase.

Thank you very much for your answer. Assuming that the energized conductor is placed at the position of the arrow, regardless of the force between the energized conductor and the superconductor, the ampere force between the energized conductor and the magnet is F1. The ampere force between the energized wire and the magnet after removal of the superconductor is F2. So, F1 may be bigger than F2, right?

is to place the wire at the position of the arrow, the two ends of the wire connected to the battery into the current, the wire and the magnet between the Ampere force, in the case of superconductors and no superconductors, ampere force is different?

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
