Fusion occurs when elements are pushed together to form a third element. Like two Hydrogen atoms fused together to form a Helium atom. There are formulas that tell you how much energy, or force, has to be used to get elements to fuse together, because it is extremely difficult to get this to happen. Also, when two elements fuse together the final element has less mass then the original two elements. This loss in mass comes out as energy and there are formulas that tell you how much energy will come out. So there are several formulas dealing with different aspects of fusion, but not a single formula that tells you everything you might want to know about fusion.

What are the products of nuclear fission and fusion?
The nuclear fission and/or fusion results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
What is produced during nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
During nuclear fission, large atoms are split into smaller atoms, releasing energy and neutrons. During nuclear fusion, lighter atoms combine to form heavier atoms, releasing a significant amount of energy and generating high-speed particles.
How does nuclear fusion happen?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Is the radius of the earth's orbit reduced by the sun's loss of mass through nuclear fission?
The decrease in the Sun's mass due to nuclear fusion does not significantly affect the radius of Earth's orbit. The decrease in mass is very small compared to the Sun's total mass, so the effect on Earth's orbit is negligible. The main factors affecting Earth's orbit are gravitational interactions with other planets and the Sun's mass distribution.
What happens to energy when nuclear fission or fusion occurs?
Energy is released during nuclear fission or fusion. The mass deficit (apparent loss of mass resulting from the reaction) is represented by a related (e = mc2) release of energy. Note, however, that neither mass nor energy is created or destroyed - it is simply moved from one frame of reference to another.
What is the formula for calculating deadweight loss in a monopoly market?
The formula for calculating deadweight loss in a monopoly market is: Deadweight Loss 0.5 (Pmonopoly - Pcompetitive) (Qmonopoly - Qcompetitive)
What is the formula for calculating the percent of weight loss?
The formula for calculating the percent of weight loss is: (Initial weight - Current weight) / Initial weight x 100.
What is the formula for calculating weight loss percentage?
The formula for calculating weight loss percentage is: (Initial Weight - Current Weight) / Initial Weight x 100.
Different shapes of nuclear fission and fusion to nuclear energy?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons. The nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei into one nucleus. Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion result in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy/
What is the formula for calculating power loss in a circuit, involving the keyword i2r?
The formula for calculating power loss in a circuit is P i2 R, where P represents power loss, i is the current flowing through the circuit, and R is the resistance of the circuit.
What is the formula for calculating power loss in transmission lines?
The formula for calculating power loss in transmission lines is Ploss I2 R, where Ploss is the power loss, I is the current flowing through the transmission line, and R is the resistance of the transmission line.
What is the formula for calculating power loss in a transmission line?
The formula for calculating power loss in a transmission line is Ploss I2 R, where Ploss is the power loss in watts, I is the current flowing through the line in amperes, and R is the resistance of the line in ohms.
What are the products of nuclear fission and fusion?
The nuclear fission and/or fusion results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
How fission and fusion work?
Nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons. The nuclear fusion is the combination of two lighter nuclei into one nucleus. Both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion result in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that could be extracted and made use of as process heat, kinetic energy, and/or electricity.
What is the formula for calculating loss?
You calculate loss the same as you would do profit income minus expenses (outgoings) = profit/loss If the answer is negative then you are making a loss, if the answer is positive then you are making a profit.
Are nuclear fusion and nuclear fission opposites?
Sort of. Nuclear fusion is when two atoms are fused together to make another one, while nuclear fission is when one atom is split into two atoms. Both processes, however, involve a loss of mass representing the binding energy that was released. This binding energy is manifest as heat. It just happens that the amount of loss is far greater in fusion than in fission. That's why the H-Bomb (a fusion device) is so much more powerful than the A-Bomb (a fission device).
What is produced during nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?
During nuclear fission, large atoms are split into smaller atoms, releasing energy and neutrons. During nuclear fusion, lighter atoms combine to form heavier atoms, releasing a significant amount of energy and generating high-speed particles.
