What two things are necessary for fusion reaction to take place in a star?
High temperature and high pressure are necessary for fusion reactions to take place in a star. The high temperature is needed to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged atomic nuclei, while the high pressure is needed to confine the high temperature plasma.
What take an extremely high temperature for nuclear?
Nuclear fusion requires extremely high temperature and great pressure.
Nuclear fusion can only occur in areas of?
In areas of high temperature and high pressure
Where in the Solar System is the temperature high enough to start fusion?
Fusion reactions occur in the cores of stars, including our Sun, where temperatures are extremely high, on the order of millions of degrees Celsius. No other location in the solar system has temperatures high enough to sustain fusion reactions.
What is the main problems with fusion?
it only takes place at high temperature
Why very high temperature exist around the sun?
Because of the nuclear fusion that it does.
What actually causes the fusion to occur in stars?
The cause is the very high temperature.
Why is the sun's energy generated mostly at its center and not near its surface?
At the center, both the temperature and the pressure are highest. Both a high pressure and a high temperature increase the likelihood of fusion.
Does the onset of fusion reactions inside stars require high or low density and high or low temperature?
The onset of fusion reactions inside stars requires high density and high temperature. The high density is needed to bring atomic nuclei close enough together for the strong nuclear force to overcome electrostatic repulsion, allowing the nuclei to fuse. The high temperature is required to provide the particles with enough kinetic energy to overcome the electrical repulsion and fuse.
Why does the sun give of energy?
The high temperature and pressure in the Sun's interior causes nuclear fusion.
How do scientists hope to use lasers in nuclear fusion?
TO initiate fusion process very high temperature of the order of 100 million kelvin is needed. Such a high temperature could be produced by laser beam if it is used in a different technique. That is why sciectists rely on laser.
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
How can temperature either help fusion to occur or prevent fusion from occurring?
