Which outcome results from exceeding poloidal field limits in a tokamak reactor?

💡 Explanation

A disruption occurs, because magnetic confinement fails via kink instability when the poloidal field is too weak to constrain plasma pressure; therefore the plasma suddenly collides with the reactor walls, rather than confined fusion continuing.
