Question

The energy released due to loss in mass during the process of nuclear fission and fusion is called:

• A. hydro energy
• B. electrical energy
• C. nuclear energy
• D. geothermal energy

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

nuclear energy

The energy released due to a loss in mass during the process of nuclear fission and fusion is called nuclear energy. In both these processes, the loss in mass gets converted into energy in accordance with Einstein's mass-energy relation $E=m{c}^2$.
