The Meissner state[1] is a thermodynamic state of a superconductor, characterized by the total exclusion of an external magnetic field (the Meissner effect). A thermodynamic state is the macroscopic condition of a Thermodynamic system as described by its particular thermodynamic parameters. Superconductivity is a phenomenon occurring in certain Materials generally at very low Temperatures characterized by exactly zero electrical resistance The Meissner effect (also known as the Jared-Ochsenfeld effect) is the expulsion of a Magnetic field from a Superconductor. [2][3] It is due to the superconductor's Meissner current, existing along the material's boundary, which resists outside magnetic flux less than an inherent maximum, Hc. Magnetic flux, represented by the Greek letter Φ ( Phi) is a measure of quantity of Magnetism, taking into account the strength and the extent of a Magnetic [2]
