Abstract
Transient field build-up inside a superconductor is investigated on the basis of Maxwell's equations in conjunction with London's phenomenological equations. Although understanding of superconducting phenomena is attained only through the quantum- mechanical approach, it seems that the macroscopic approach resorted to leads to a qualitative as well as quantitative description of the field penetration in a superconductor. It is shown that so-called “steady-state” conditions do not really exist for a superconductor; compatibility of the Maxwell and London equations may, however, be obtained even for very high values of the time parameter t, through a suitable approximation.
