Step 2 - Exercises

The Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect shows that

  • the thermodynamic state of a superconductor is univocally determined if you know T and H values
  • in a superconductor the screening currents are always induced currents
  • Lenz’s law can explain superconductivity
  • currents that screen the superconductor from the magnetic field are dissipative
  • the T and H values are not enough to define the thermodynamic state of a superconductor
