Which phenomenon limits current capacity in superconducting cables?

A)Magnetic field quenching
B)Phonon scattering increase
C)Critical temperature upshift
D)Cooper pair quantization reduction

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the critical magnetic field results in the Meissner effect breaking down; this causes magnetic field quenching because the magnetic field penetrating the superconductor destroys the Cooper pairs, therefore resistance reappears rather than remaining zero under lower magnetic fields.
