How long can an electric lamp of 100 W be kept glowing by fusion of 2.0 kg of deuterium? Take the fusion reaction as → + n + 3.27 MeV
Solution:
Number of atoms present in 2 g of deuterium = 6.023 × Total number of atoms present in 2000 g of deuterium = = 6.023 × Energy released in the fusion of 2 deuterium atoms = 3.27 MeV Total energy released in the fusion of 2.0 kg of deuterium atoms E = × 6.023 × = 9.81 × MeV = 15.696 × J Energy consumed by the bulb per second = 100 J Time for which the bulb will glow t = s or t = yearsz = 4.9 × years
