Which outcome results when a superconducting quantum interference device exceeds its critical current?

💡 Explanation

When a SQUID’s current surpasses the critical value, *quasiparticle excitation* occurs, destroying superconductivity. Disrupting the Cooper pairs means normal conductance returns because the material loses its zero-resistance state, rather than maintaining superconductivity.
