Which consequence results when cryogenic fluid supply abruptly stops to a superconducting magnet?

💡 Explanation

A quench occurs because the temperature rises beyond the superconducting transition, which then causes flux motion/energy dissipation through flux flow, rather than maintained superconductivity; therefore resistive heating results rather than other changes relating to the magnet’s field properties.
