Which risk increases when strong external magnetic fields interfere with a spacecraft's hall-effect thruster?

💡 Explanation

When external magnetic fields interfere, they disrupt the designed magnetic confinement of plasma within the Hall-effect thruster because magnetic field lines are distorted leading to plasma detachment. Therefore, plasma detachment occurs, rather than the other effects which require optimized field alignment and confinement.
