Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Persistent current is a perpetual electrical current, not requiring an external power source, that flows naturally through resistive metal.The current is the result of a quantum mechanical effect that influences how electrons travel through metals, and arises from the same kind of motion that allows the electrons inside an atom to orbit the nucleus forever. The magnitude of the current becomes appreciable when the size of the metallic system is reduced to the scale of the electron quantum phase coherence length and the thermal length.
