Meissner Effect in Classical Physics

Abstract
The Meissner effect is explored based on the acceleration-dependent component of the Weber force. According to the Maxwell theory, a steady circulating current does not produce any dynamics on external resting charges; however, according to the Weber theory, the charges of the circulating current exhibit a centripetal acceleration, which affects the external charges at rest. It is demonstrated that the current generated in this manner can explain the Meissner effect in classical physics.
