Electrostatic field in superconductors. II: Balance of forces. (English) Zbl 1181.82080

Int. J. Mod. Phys. B 23, No. 20-21, Part 2, 4488-4495 (2009).

Summary: The London theory of diamagnetic currents is discussed from the magnetohydrodynamical point of view. It is argued that the motion of superconducting electrons is controlled by the electrostatic field which balances the Lorentz and the inertial forces.
