Answer:

The correct option is;

$_{1}^{2}\textrm{He} + _{1}^{1}\textrm{H} \rightarrow _{3}^{2}\textrm{He} + energy$

Explanation:

The second step of the fusion process is the reaction (combination) where a Deuterium combines with a hydrogen to produce one helium 3, 3He, nucleus and a energy photon as follows;

$_{1}^{2}\textrm{He} + _{1}^{1}\textrm{H} \rightarrow _{3}^{2}\textrm{He} +\gamma \ (energy)$

After which the produced Helium-3 combines to form the Helium nucleus an emit 2 protons

Steps 1 and 2 are take place two times (producing 26 MeV energy) before the step three (the combination of the formed helium-3) takes occurs.

How will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) $\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = $\frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, $q_{1}$ is the value of the first charge, $q_{2}$ is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.
