Magnetic Field Strength
The magnetic field strength associated with a rotating superconductor is given by:
where M and Q are the mass and the charge of the superconducting charge carriers respectively. For the case of Cooper pairs of electrons, M=2me and Q=2e. Despite the electrons existing in a strongly-interacting environment, me denotes here the mass of the bare electrons (as in vacuum), and not e.g. the effective mass of conducting electrons of the normal phase.

Famous quotes containing the words magnetic, field and/or strength:
“We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride;
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plough his field or gathering his
grain;
So fierce you whirr and pound, you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)
