Which outcome occurs when operating a superconducting magnet above its critical current?

💡 Explanation

A quench occurs because exceeding critical current disrupts Cooper pairs, halting lossless current flow; therefore, a rapid resistance increase and energy dissipation results, rather than other quantum effects or mechanical failures under normal circumstances due to robust material design.
