Paragraph: Scientists are working hard to develop nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclei of heavy hydrogen, ₁^2 H known as deuteron and denoted by D can be thought of as a candidate for fusion reactor. The D - D reaction is ₁^2 H + ₁^2 H ₂^3 He +n+ energy. In the core of fusion reactor. A gas of heavy hydrogen is fully ionized into deuteron nuclei and electrons. This collection of ₁^4 H nuclei and electrons is known as plasm
Options
- ADeuteron density =20 10¹² ~cm ⁻³ , confinement time =5.0 10⁻³ ~s
- BDeuteron density =8.0 10¹⁴ ~cm ⁻³ , confinement time =9.0 10⁻¹ ~s
- CDeuteron density =4.0 10²³ ~cm ⁻³ , confinement time =1.0 10⁻¹¹ ~s
- DDeuteron density =1.0 10²⁴ ~cm ⁻³ , confinement time =4.0 10⁻¹² ~s
Correct answer
B. Deuteron density =8.0 10¹⁴ ~cm ⁻³ , confinement time =9.0 10⁻¹ ~s
Step-by-step solution
As given in the paragraph, a reactor is termed successful, if n t₀>5 10¹⁴ scm ⁻³
