✦ Synopsis
The distribution of current among the filaments of a multifilamentary superconductor is calculated as a function of distance along the conductor from the input lead. AIso calculated is the voltage drop per unit length along the surface of the conductor as a function of distance from the input lead. Knowledge of the voltage drop is helpful in determining how close to input leads to place voltage taps, especially in conductors with a large matrix resistivity, eg Nb3Sn in CuSn. The theory is compared with experiment with satisfactory results.
