← ScienceWhich consequence results when a pulsed electromagnetic field induces eddy currents in a superconducting toroidal magnet?
A)Cryostat structural component degradation
B)Quench due to exceeding critical current✓
C)Increased thermal conductivity in windings
D)Enhanced magnetic field confinement stability
💡 Explanation
A quench will occur because the pulsed magnetic field induces eddy currents, causing localized heating; therefore, the superconductor exceeds its critical current density, leading to a loss of superconductivity rather than enhanced stability.
