← ScienceWhich outcome arises when hydrogen plasma pressure exceeds magnetic confinement limits during fusion?
A)Beta limit driven plasma disruption✓
B)Enhanced energy confinement timescale
C)Increased tritium breeding efficiency
D)Stable burning plasma equilibrium formed
💡 Explanation
Beta limit driven plasma quenches occur because exceeding the beta limit leads to magnetohydrodynamic instabilities; the resulting turbulent energy transport causes rapid cooling and plasma pressure collapse, rather than enhanced confinement, therefore a disruption.
