    A nuclear reactor delivers a power of 10 W. Find fuel consumed by the reactor per hour, if its efficiency is 20%: (Given, \[c=3\times {{10}^{8}}\,m/s\])

    A)  \[2\times {{10}^{-6}}g/hr\]                        

    B) \[9\times {{10}^{12}}g/hr\]

    C)                         \[8\times {{10}^{-9}}g/hr\]

    D)                         \[2\times {{10}^{-9}}g/hr\]        

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Having efficiency of 20% by the reactor, the fuel consumed by the reactor \[E=\frac{100\times 10}{20}=50\,J/s\] Again by mass energy equivalence relation, \[E=m{{c}^{2}}\] or                            \[m=\frac{E}{{{c}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{50}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}}kg/s=\frac{50\times 3600\times {{10}^{3}}}{{{(3\times {{10}^{8}})}^{2}}}g/hr\]                 \[=2\times {{10}^{-9}}\,g/hr\]
