    If in a nuclear fission, piece of uranium of mass 0.5 g is lost, the energy obtained in kWh is                            [Pb. PET 2003]

    A)            \[1.25\times {{10}^{7}}\]

    B)            \[2.25\times {{10}^{7}}\]

    C)            \[3.25\times {{10}^{7}}\]

    D)            \[0.25\times {{10}^{7}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[E=\Delta m{{c}^{2}}=0.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\times {{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}=4.5\times {{10}^{13}}j\]                    \[\Rightarrow E=\frac{4.5\times {{10}^{13}}}{3.6\times {{10}^{6}}}=1.25\times {{10}^{7}}kWH.\]
