← ScienceWhich consequence results when a tokamak's plasma experiences disruptive instability?
A)Quench of superconducting magnets occurs✓
B)Increased plasma current density develops
C)Enhanced bootstrap current is produced
D)Improved energy confinement time results
💡 Explanation
Magnet quench occurs because the rapid energy loss from the plasma due to thermal quench from disruptive instability induces resistive heating in the superconducting magnets; therefore, the magnets can lose superconductivity, rather than enhancing plasma current due to bootstrap current.
