Which 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.
