← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a superconducting solenoid transitions out of its superconducting state?
A)Quench inducing rapid heat dissipation✓
B)Increased efficiency through resistance drop
C)Decreased inductance due to flux expulsion
D)Enhanced current density redistribution uniformly
💡 Explanation
If the solenoid warms above its critical temperature, a quench occurs, resulting in rapid NORMAL conduction and associated heat dissipation because it's no longer superconducting. This is because the Meissner effect collapses, rather than maintaining lossless current flow.
