Abstract

It is noted that the elementary electric charge is equal to e , from which fact the well-known principle of quantization of the electric charge definitely follows, namely, the electric charge is quantized and a quantum is the charge of the electron e (or positron). Or any change in the charge is equal to an integer number of electrons (or positrons). The formally identical transformation of the principle of quantization of the electric charge allows formulating the principle of quantization of the magnetic flux, namely, the quantity inverse to the magnetic flux is quantized and a quantum is the inverse of the quantum of the F. London magnetic flux. Or any change in the reciprocal of the magnetic flux is equal to an integer number of quantities inverse to the quantum of the F. London magnetic flux. The reciprocal of the magnetic flux quantum is equal to the sum of two quantities inverse to the quantum of the F. London magnetic flux. The validity of the principle of quantization of the magnetic flux with respect to the hydrogen atom is illustrated by Theorem 1: quantization of the energy of the hydrogen atom is a consequence of the principle of quantization of the magnetic flux. Theorem 2 is proved: the magnetic flux of a hydrogen atom in the ground state is equal to the quantum of the F. London magnetic flux. Theorem 3 is proved: the quantum of the magnetic flux is not the minimum possible for a nonzero magnetic flux. It is established that the quantum of the magnetic flux is not a quantum in the sense of a portion (like the F. London quantum). A quantum is the inverse of the quantum of the F. London magnetic flux. It is established that the magnitude of the magnetic flux quantum is not the minimum possible for a nonzero magnetic flux. It is established that the magnetic flux of a hydrogen atom in the ground state is equal to the quantum of the F. London magnetic flux. A discrete set of energies of the hydrogen atom is noted to be a consequence of the solution of the Schrödinger equation, which, in turn, is phenomenological. The reverse discourse used in the proof of Theorem 1 can show that the Schrödinger equation is a consequence of the principle of quantization of the magnetic flux.
