Quenching is the local interruption of superconductivity that leads to the abrupt loss of the entire superconductivity.
Excessive external magnetic fields, excessive currents and heating above the critical temperature destroy (quench) the self-holding of the magnetic dipoles of the electrons.
<aside> 📌 Presumtion: When a superconducting coil is quenched, the magnetic dipoles of the electrons tilt back to their initial position and are subject to the Lorentz force. A current is induced. ↓28↓
