3.54*. The magnetic flux across the surface bounded
by the superconducting loop is constant. Indeed,
AO/At =W, but = IR = 0 (since R = 0),
and hence D = const.
The magnetic flux through the surface bounded
by the loop is the sum of the external magnetic
flux and the flux of the magnetic field produced by
the current I passing through the loop. Therefore,
the magnetic flux across the loop at any instant is
= a 2 B 0 a 2 az + LI.
Since = Boat at the initial moment (z = 0 and
I = 0), the current I at any other instant will be
determined by the relation
LI= —aza 2 , I =
aza2

The resultant force exerted by the magnetic
field on the current loop is the sum of the forces
acting on the sides of the loop which are parallel
to the y-axis, i.e.
F= 2a I ax I I = a 2 a/
and is directed along the z-axis.
Therefore, the equation of motion for the loop
has the form

This equation is similar to the equation of vibra-
tions of a body of mass m suspended on a spring
of rigidity k = a 4 a 2 /L:

mz = —mg — kz.
This analogy shows that the loop will perform har-
monic oscillations along the z-axis near the equi-
