The interior of a bulk superconductor cannot be penetrated in a weak magnetic field due to the Meissner effect. When the applied magnetic field becomes too large, superconductivity breaks down.
In type-I superconductors, superconductivity is abruptly destroyed via a first order phase transition when the strength of the applied field rises above a critical value
