Definition: 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: This theorem is the basis for the Maddock's stability criterion, and states that a normal region formed by a disturbance will recover provided the area below the temperature-dependent cooling curve is greater than the area below the heat-generation curve.
