Which outcome occurs when a tokamak is cooled below its critical quench temperature?

💡 Explanation

When the superconducting magnets quench, the **Meissner effect** is eliminated. Confinement is lost because magnetic fields collapse, therefore plasma hits the walls, rather than reaching stable fusion conditions or gradually attenuating.
