← ScienceWhich critical outcome initiates when a superconducting magnet quenches?
A)Resistive heating dramatically increases✓
B)Meissner effect becomes significantly stronger
C)Critical current density decreases linearly
D)Magnetic field completely shields volume
💡 Explanation
Quenching initiates resistive heating because the superconductivity abruptly ends, leading to energy dissipation via Joule heating. Therefore, resistance drastically increases, rather than changes to the Meissner effect or the critical current itself.
