Which mechanism causes energy dissipation when exceeding critical current in a superconducting magnet?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding critical current density allows external magnetic fields to penetrate a superconductor, because flux pinning combats the Lorentz force on these fluxons, creating resistance and Joule heating. Therefore, flux pinning dissipates energy rather than maintaining lossless current flow.
