How is electromagnetism used in containing nuclear fusion reactions?

The earliest attempts at fusion reactor design used magnetic confinement to compress the fuel plasma as well as keep it away from the reaction vessel walls. The best such designs were derived from the Russian tokamak toroidal reactors.
Newer attempts use inertial confinement (like H-bomb secondaries) and have come much closer to break-even than tokamak types have. No magnetic fields are used here.

Are nuclear reactions and nuclear fusions the same thing?
Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction, but so is fission. So not all nuclear reactions are fission.
What does Nuclear Fusion have to do with stars?
The stars produce their heat from nuclear fusion reactions. Work on earth to produce controllable nuclear fusion is concentrating on one particular reaction, between deuterium and tritium, because it is the easiest to get going (though hard enough!). Stars operate with other reactions but all of the nuclear fusion type. You can read more in Wikipedia 'Nuclear fusion'
Nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission convert?
Nuclear reactions convert very small amounts of matter into significant amounts of energy.
Is it true orFALSE that stars are powered by nuclear fusion reactions?
false
How is a nuclear fission reaction controlled in a nuclear reaction?
Reactions that involve nuclei, called nuclear reactions, result in a tremendous amount of energy. Two types are fission and fusion.
What are the type of nuclear reactions?
nuclear fission and nuclear fusion
What type of reactions can generate the most energy of nuclear?
Fusion and fission nuclear reactions.
Which nuclear reactions is the source of the sums energy?
Nuclear fusion
Nuclear reactions at very high temperature is known as?
You probably mean nuclear fusion
Is it a fission or fusion reaction?
Fission and fusion are different nuclear reactions.
Are nuclear reactions and nuclear fusions the same thing?
Nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction, but so is fission. So not all nuclear reactions are fission.
Types of nuclear reactions are?
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
Where do you get nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is obtained through fission and fusion reactions.
What does Nuclear Fusion have to do with stars?
The stars produce their heat from nuclear fusion reactions. Work on earth to produce controllable nuclear fusion is concentrating on one particular reaction, between deuterium and tritium, because it is the easiest to get going (though hard enough!).

What is the difference between the nuclear reactions taking place in the sun and the nuclear reactions taking place in a nuclear reactor?
The sun's nuclear reactions are fusion reactions at extremely high temperatures and pressures, while the nuclear reactor's nuclear reactions are fission reactions at typical temperatures and pressures for earth.
What is the principle of the hydrogen bomb?
Uncontrolled nuclear fusion reactions.
Nuclear reactions such as fusion and fission convert?
Nuclear reactions convert very small amounts of matter into significant amounts of energy.
