← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when heat exceeds critical temperature within niobium-titanium superconducting magnets?
A)Quench converts superconducting coil resistive✓
B)Meissner effect achieves total field exclusion
C)Flux pinning maintains magnetic field lock
D)Cooper pairs enhance zero resistance flow
💡 Explanation
Heat causes a quench because the Cooper pair formation breaks down, which destroys superconductivity; therefore, the resistance rises sharply rather than magnetic field exclusion, because total exclusion only occurs below the critical point.
