In fusion reactors, what is the role of magnetic confinement?
- A Containing and controlling plasma
- B Generating electricity
- C Shielding against radiation
- D Cooling the reactor core
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Magnetic confinement is a theoretical concept used in fusion research to confine and control the hot plasma in fusion reactors. By using strong magnetic fields to contain the plasma away from the reactor walls, magnetic confinement prevents energy loss and facilitates the conditions necessary for sustained nuclear fusion reactions.
