The sun is believed to be getting its energy from the fusion of four protons to form a helium nucleus and a pair of positrons. Calculate the release of energy per fusion in MeV. Mass of proton=1.007825 a.m.u. , mass of positron =0.000549 a.m.u., mass of helium nucleus =4.002603 a.m.u. Take 1a.m.u. =931MeV.
