Which mechanism enables current bypass in superconducting magnets?

A)Flux pinning by defects
B)Tunneling across grain boundaries
C)Thermal excitation of quasiparticles
D)Vortex motion in impure regions

💡 Explanation

Flux pinning by defects is a fundamental mechanism for superconductivity; defects stabilize the magnetic flux lines, because these lines are pinned; therefore current bypasses resistive regions, rather than losses within a pure superconductor.
