In a fusion reactor,the high temperature of the order of 10⁸ K is required in order that what condition is met? A)melt down the hydrogen fuel B)strip the hydrogen atoms of their electrons C)break the protons into their elementary particle sub-parts D)overcome Coulomb repelling forces between protons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
