Obnoxious Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Would it be possible (in practice) for [math]\phi[/math] in the equation [math]\phi=\int{B\,dA}[/math] to be anything but a whole number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DQW Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Not just possible, but a certainty ! Or by chance are you getting confused with the flux through a superconductor in the Abrikosov phase? That will always be an whole number multiple of h/2e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DQW Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Oh, but if the units you are using are the least count (or resolution) of your fluxmeter, then you can only measure whole number units of flux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
