Abstract :
A piecewise continuous distribution of the critical currents is proposed to make compatible the Maxwell equations and constitutive equations of superconducting media. A magnetic moment of the infinite superconducting cylinder is calculated on the base of the proposed shell model. Some generalizations of the calculation method are given for superconductors of more complicated shapes.
