Question

question 25 of 30 what is the main source of the energy produced in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? a electrostatic force b thermal energy c mass converted to energy d strong nuclear force

Explanation:

The energy produced in both nuclear fission and fusion originates from the conversion of mass into energy, as described by Einstein's mass-energy equivalence principle (E=mc²). The mass defect (difference in mass before and after the nuclear reaction) is transformed into energy.

Answer:

C. Mass converted to energy
