Re: drift speed in superconductors



Hi Larry,

You asked:

What is the drift speed of electrons in superconductors?

Thanks,
Larry


I don't know the answer to your question, but I am curious as to whether
currents in superconductors can be thought of as drift currents. I think
of drift currents as those driven by an field, but if there is no
resistance than it would seem that there must not be a field to drive the
current.
