Which outcome arises when hydrogen plasma pressure exceeds magnetic confinement limits during fusion?

💡 Explanation

Beta limit driven plasma quenches occur because exceeding the beta limit leads to magnetohydrodynamic instabilities; the resulting turbulent energy transport causes rapid cooling and plasma pressure collapse, rather than enhanced confinement, therefore a disruption.
