Which principle is used in conversion of atomic energy into electric energy?

The principle of mass conversion to energy. The mass loss (due to nuclear fission or nuclear fusion) is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is converted (through turbines) to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is converted (through electric generators) to electrical energy.


What is nuclear blinding energy?

Nuclear binding energy is the energy that holds nucleons (protons and neutrons) together in an atomic nucleus. It is derived from what is called mass deficit. Each nucleon in the atom gives up a tiny amount of its mass when the atom is created. This mass in converted into binding energy.


Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)


When is mass converted into energy?

Mass and energy are equivalent, so there are exchanges of between mass and energy any time there is a change in motion (kinetic energy). But Atomic energy is the most familiar conversion of mass into energy. The explosion of an nuclear bomb, or the energy generated by a nuclear reactor are consequences of conversion of mass into energy. Energy from combustion is not primarily derived from mass/energy conversion, but from exothermic chemical reactions. In fact, any such exchange between mass and energy would operate in the other direction, as gasses gain mass as they are put into motion (increased kinetic energy=increased mass). But any such gain is so tiny as to be meaningless.


When is energy converted to mass?

One instance, when a particle is accelerated with sufficient kinetic energy, that energy can change into mass in the form of subatomic particles.

Can energy converted into mass?

Yes. In a way, energy and mass are closely related; energy HAS mass, mass HAS energy. Energy gets converted into mass routinely in particle accelerators. The kinetic energy from the moving particles gets converted into new particles.


How can the atomic mass change?

Depends, what do you mean "change"? Atomic mass "changes" whenever something undergoes decay or breaks apart. In this respect, atomic mass is not exactly conserved either. Rest mass gets converted to energy; e=mc^2, meaning energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. This energy is usually the kinetic energy of the particle that gets dislocated from the original atom.


What happens to the mass lost in nuclear fusion?

its converted to energy

How does beta radiation affect the nucleus?

The end result of beta- decay is that a neutron is converted into a proton, increasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same. The end result of beta+ decay is that a proton is converted into a neutron, decreasing the atomic number while keeping the atomic mass number the same.


Can mass be converted into electrical energy using transducers?

Mass can be converted to energy in some very special cases, but no general method to convert any mass directly into energy is known.


The sun's energy is released when what is converted into energy?

Energy is relates when hydrogen is converted into helium in the sun's core.


In an atomic reactor atomic energy is converted directly to what kind of energy?

Atomic energy is converted into heat. At the atomic level, however, this heat can be viewed in other ways. It can be seen as kinetic energy, for example, or electrical energy. It is measured in electron volts, but can also be measured by temperature or speed. So a neutron produced with a lot of electron volts is called fast or hot. But the heat in the atomic reactor is the heat of fission. Fission and fusion both involve the forces that bind atoms together. It happens that the most stable atoms are iron, so anything with less mass is somewhat likely to become more stable through fission, and anything with more mass is likely to become more stable through some nuclear action that loses mass, such as fission or other decay. The increase of stability is accompanied by a decrease of energy, and that is where atomic energy comes from.
