Question

In its core the Sun changed hydrogen into helium and produces energy by this nuclear fusion process. Each hydrogen atom has a positively charged center (a proton) and a negatively charged electron that exists around the periphery of the atom. The heat of the Sun pulls the electrons off the hydrogen atoms, leaving positive y charged protons behind. To make energy the Sun has to force these positively charged particles very close together so that a very strong but short range force makes them stick together. Do the electrical forces between the hydrogen nuclei (the protons) make help or inhibit this process? They make it easier They make it more difficult The electrical forces are not relevant to this process Coulomb's Law doesn't apply at the core of the Sun
