Fernández-Rañada, Antonio2023-06-202023-06-202006-030015-901810.1007/s10701-005-9026-8https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/50999© 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.The quantization of the magnetic flux in superconducting rings is studied in the frame of a topological model of electromagnetism that gives a topological formulation of electric charge quantization. It turns out that the model also embodies a topological mechanism for the quantization of the magnetic flux with the same relation between the fundamental units of magnetic charge and flux as there is between the Dirac monopole and the fluxoid.spajournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10701-005-9026-8http://link.springer.comopen access537Electromagnetism.ElectricidadElectrónica (Física)2202.03 Electricidad
