How to Use the Fusion Energy Calculator

  1. Enter the mass defect of the fusion reaction in kilograms (kg). This is the difference in mass between the reactants and products.
  2. The speed of light is already pre-filled with the standard value (299,792,458 m/s). You can change it if needed.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the energy released in Joules and Kilojoules.
  4. The results will be displayed in the respective fields.

Understanding the Formula

The energy released in a nuclear fusion reaction can be calculated using the formula E = Δm * c², where:

  • E is the energy released in Joules (J).
  • Δm is the mass defect in kilograms (kg).
  • c is the speed of light in meters per second (m/s).

This formula is derived from Einstein's famous equation E = mc², which relates mass and energy.
