← ScienceWhich risk increases when operating MRI superconducting magnets?
A)Quench due to field disturbances✓
B)Arcing from RF coil overloading
C)Resistive yoke saturation declining
D)Cryocooler thermal runaway developing
💡 Explanation
A quench is likely because any sudden heat input disrupts superconductivity. This induces rapid resistance rise (quench), magnetic field collapse, and helium boiling off as escaping gas, therefore causing system damage, rather than cryocooler failure or RF arcing.
