NEET Physics Nuclear Fusion MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about nuclear fusion is correct?
Nuclear fusion requires overcoming the coulomb barrier due to positive charges.
Nuclear fusion occurs without the need for high temperatures.
The process of nuclear fusion in stars does not involve deuterons.
The energy released in nuclear fusion is primarily due to binding energy of electrons.
Correct Answer
