← ScienceWhich 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.
