    The amount of energy released when one microgram of matter is annihilated is

    A) \[25kWh\]                          

    B) \[9\times {{10}^{10}}kWh\]

    C)  \[3\times {{10}^{10}}kWh\]       

    D)        \[0.5\times {{10}^{5}}kWh\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to Einsteins mass energy equivalence relation                 \[E=m{{c}^{2}}\]                 \[={{10}^{-6}}\times {{10}^{-3}}\times {{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}J\]                 \[=9\times {{10}^{7}}J\]                 \[=\frac{9\times {{10}^{7}}}{3.6\times {{10}^{6}}}kWh\]                                 \[(\because 1\,\,kWh=3.6\times {{10}^{6}}J)\]                 \[=25kWh\]
