Summary

We propose the crucial experiment testing the existence of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect. It could be performed on one cylindrical solenoid, two cylindrical solenoids with opposite magnetic fluxes and the toroidal solenoid. The positive outcome of this experiment unambitiously says «yes» to the existence of the AB effect.
