← ScienceWhich mechanism fundamentally changes when a superconducting magnet quenches?
A)Flux pinning dissipates stored energy✓
B)Resistivity promotes Cooper pair formation
C)Meissner effect intensifies the field
D)Critical current amplifies the field
💡 Explanation
Flux pinning dissipates stored energy as heat because magnetic fluxoids abruptly depin during a quench, triggering significant resistance. Therefore, energy is dissipated, rather than intensified, because pair formation halts above critical temperature.
