Which outcome occurs when a tokamak's magnetic field collapses?

💡 Explanation

A plasma quench results because a magnetic field collapse causes rapid thermal runaway; the mechanism is increased resistive heating. This leads to extreme thermal stress; therefore, material damage happens rather than other events when confinement is maintained at steady-state.
