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.
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.The release of binding energy.
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.
No. The loss of mass of the Sun - by the process of nuclear FUSION (not fission) and the conversion of mass into energy is essentially negligible even over the 5-billion-year time scales.
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
Nuclear fusion release a huge amount of heat. And this heat can be transformed in electricity. Unfortunately this possibility remain today only a laboratory experiment. But I believe that nuclear fusion is the future.
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/

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.
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).
Fusion is the process where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a large amount of energy, as seen in the sun. Fission is the process where a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two or more lighter nuclei, releasing energy and neutrons, as seen in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs.
It happens a loss of mass that transforms into energy according to the formula: E = mc2

Nuclear fusion. Hydrogen to helium, mostly. There is a slight loss of mass, which translates into an enormous outpouring of energy, E=mc2.
The nuclear reactions result in mass loss (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula: E = mc2 , wher c is the light
