Abstract
The current distribution in parallel superconducting wires is influenced by the Meissner effect. In order to treat this quantitatively, the behaviour of superconducting cylinders in an inhomogeneous magnetic field was examined and the results were applied to a planar arrangement of parallel superconducting wires. How the current distribution between the conductors and the current density distribution along the circumference of each wire behave, if the distance between the conductors is varied, is also discussed, together with the effect of varying the number of wires on the current distribution. Finally the current distribution in a planar array of superconducting wires is compared with the current density distribution in a thin superconducting layer. Experimental results supporting the above mentioned theoretical considerations will be presented.
