[UPSC IFoS 2016] Nuclear Physics (Q98, 10M)
In a nuclear fusion process, four hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus. Obtain the energy released in such a process. If the same process is responsible for energy of a star of mass 2 \times 10^{30}\text{ kg}, each kilogram having 6 \times 10^{26} protons, what could be the magnitude of energy released in it?
