← ScienceWhich risk increases when a strong magnetic field suppresses superconductivity in a rare-earth nickel boride system?
A)Increased Joule heating losses✓
B)Reduced electron-phonon coupling
C)Formation of Cooper pairs ceases
D)Enhanced flux pinning efficiency
💡 Explanation
Increased Joule heating occurs because the magnetic field breaks the superconducting state above a critical field strength. Pair breaking creates unpaired electrons resisting current flow, and electrical resistance via scattering then causes increased Joule heating; therefore, option A is correct, rather than flux pinning or phonon interactions.
