Abstract

Since publication, we have realized that the results from the minimum electromagnetic entropy (MEMEP) method (see section 3.3 in the original paper [1]) used a different voltage definition, causing a slight discrepancy with the results obtained from the other methods in figures 3 and 4. Instead of Veq (t) = −LEave (t), as given by equation (5) in [1], we used −∆V(t) as defined by equation (22) in [2]: ∆V ≈ L· [∂tAav,J + Eave (J)] . Although both definitions result in the same DC voltage, the instantaneous signal differs, as shown in figure 1 in this corrigendum. Indeed, the used ∆V for the MEMEP method in [1] adds an extra contribution, ∂tAav,J, the vector potential due to the superconducting current. As a result, the new curve has much better qualitative and quantitative agreement with the waveforms calculated by the other methods shown in figure 3 of the original article [1]. In the original article [1], we also used the −∆V(t) definition above instead of Veq (t) to calculate the cumulative time-averaged equivalent voltage, defined from equation (6) in [1] as t Vcumul (t) = 1t Veq (t) dt. 0 The new results, using Veq (t) , present only small changes compared to the original calculations, as shown in figure 2 in this corrigendum. This curve also has very good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the waveforms calculated by the other methods, as shown in figure 4 in the original article [1]. The data related to the new calculations for this corrigendum are available at the University of Cambridge data repository (https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.60437).
