← ScienceWhich mechanism limits current in superconducting magnets during quench?
A)Flux pinning prevents complete penetration✓
B)Critical current is rapidly surpassed
C)Gouy Chapman layer quickly forms
D)Persistent current exponentially depletes
💡 Explanation
Flux pinning limits the current during a quench because it prevents the magnetic field from immediately collapsing; therefore the current continues to flow, rather than stopping instantly due to the material's changing resistance.
