Abstract

The effects are examined for a weak static gravitational field on electrodynamic variables (current, magnetic induction, magnetic flux). Two schemes are proposed for experiments: recording the effects of a gravitational field potential difference on the magnetic flux Φ measured by means of a direct-current SQUID and determination of the change in magnetic flux in a SQUID in relation to the strength of the gravitational field g. Estimates are made of the effects that may be observed in these ways.
