We use a discrete-field model for the quantum evolution of distributed superconducting circuits to calculate the effective capacitance for a radio-frequency-SQUID magnetometer: a large-capacitance superconducting ring containing an ultra-small-capacitance weak link. We demonstrate that the self-capacitance of the weak link can dominate the behaviour of the circuit.
