← ScienceWhich phenomenon initiates rapid quench propagation in superconducting magnets?
A)Flux pinning avalanche✓
B)Critical current reduction
C)Resistance hotspot formation
D)Thermal runaway expansion
💡 Explanation
Flux pinning defects suddenly release trapped magnetic flux, causing a localized increase in temperature via **magnetic flux flow**, because the heat overwhelms the cooling capacity. Therefore, a rapid quench occurs, rather than controlled dissipation through normal zones.
