So if we choose the loop L away from either surfaces, then the<br />

current density along L would be zero. The equation<br />

then becomes<br />

2nπ = m ρq<br />

∫<br />

L<br />

2nπ = qΦ.<br />

J.dl + qΦ.<br />

Since q is the charge <strong>of</strong> an electron, the flux is<br />

Φ = nh<br />

e .<br />

This means that one quantum step is h/e.<br />

We have just found a problem.<br />
