Abstract

In some textbooks on quantum mechanics, the description of flux quantization in a superconductor ring based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect may lead some readers to a (wrong) conclusion that flux quantization occurs as well for a long solenoid with the same quantization condition in which the charge of cooper pair 2e is replaced by the charge of one electron e. It is shown how this confusion arises and how can one avoid it.
