← ScienceWhich risk increases when a magnetohydrodynamic generator experiences high plasma turbulence?
A)Increased electrode thermal fatigue
B)Diminished magnetic field uniformity✓
C)Elevated ionization energy requirements
D)Decreased plasma flow velocity
💡 Explanation
Non-uniform plasma flow intensifies magnetic field fluctuations because of magnetic field advection, leading to instability. This reduces field uniformity, therefore performance degradation occurs rather than uniform electrode wear or changes in basic plasma properties.
