Which outcome occurs when a type-II superconducting wire is exposed to a magnetic field exceeding Hc1?

💡 Explanation

Flux pinning creates quantized vortices within a type-II superconductor exceeding Hc1 because the magnetic field penetrates in discrete flux quanta maintaining superconductivity imperfectly; therefore, flux penetration occurs in a controlled manner rather than a complete loss of superconductivity.
