Fusion Energy Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Fusion Energy (E) is:

\[ E = (m₁ - m₂) \cdot c^2 \]

Where:

E is the Fusion Energy (Joules)
m₁ is the mass before fusion (kg)
m₂ is the mass after fusion (kg)
c is the speed of light (299792458 m/s)

What is Fusion Energy?

Fusion energy is the energy released during nuclear fusion, a process where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. This process releases a significant amount of energy, which can be calculated using the difference in mass before and after fusion, multiplied by the speed of light squared.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Mass Before Fusion (m₁): 2 kg
Mass After Fusion (m₂): 1.5 kg

Step 1: Calculate the Fusion Energy (E):

\[ E = (2 - 1.5) \cdot (299792458)^2 = 0.5 \cdot 89875517873681764 = 44937758936840882 \text{ Joules} \]

Therefore, the fusion energy (E) is approximately 44937758936840882 Joules.
