Q.

Why is it necessary to accelerate positively charged nuclei to high kinetic energies to cause fusion?

A. to overcome electrical repulsive forces
B. to result in high amount of energy in short period of time
C. to get the isobars and isotopes
D. to get a sustainable reaction
Answer» A. to overcome electrical repulsive forces
Explanation: to cause fusion, it is necessary to accelerate positively charged nuclei to high kinetic energies to overcome electrical repulsive forces. this is done by rising their temperatures to hundreds of millions of degree resulting in plasma.
