| theorem that provides a criterion for the stability of the superconducting magnet to account for the temperature dependence of the heat-transfer coefficient and the thermal conductions along the wire and between adjacent turns in a coil
Note 1 to entry: The equal area theorem is the basis for Maddock’s stability criterion, and states that a normal region formed by a disturbance will recover provided that the area below the temperature-dependent cooling curve is greater than the area below the heat-generation curve. Note 2 to entry: This entry was numbered 815-15-29 in IEC 60050-815:2015.
