Nuclear fusion
is the process inside the sun that generates
energy.
It involves fusing
small
nuclei together to make
larger
nuclei.
Nuclear fission
happens inside
nuclear power plants.
This involves the splitting of a large nucleus into
two
smaller ones.
Energy resources that do not rely on the sun:
tidal power
,
nuclear power
and
geothermal power.
Transferable Energy
thermal energy
electric
mechanical
Nuclear fission
is when
2 fast hydrogen nuclei
collide and
fuse
to form a
helium nucleus
(requires
high temp
and
pressure
)
Power
is the
work done
per
unit time
