← ScienceWhich energy transformation occurs during nuclear fusion in deuterium-tritium plasma?
A)Mass defect converts mass to energy✓
B)Kinetic energy increases plasma confinement
C)Electromagnetic induction generates strong currents
D)Neutron capture releases binding energy
💡 Explanation
Nuclear fusion converts mass into kinetic energy via the mass defect; because the resultant helium nucleus and neutron have slightly less mass than the initial deuterium and tritium, therefore this ‘missing’ mass appears as energy, rather than the other processes enhancing fusion.
