⚡ Enter ArenaA tokamak plasma experiences increased electron temperature; which consequence follows regarding the power radiated via bremsstrahlung?
A)Bremsstrahlung power decreases linearly.
B)Bremsstrahlung power remains constant.
C)Bremsstrahlung power increases linearly.
D)Bremsstrahlung power increases quadratically.✓
💡 Explanation
Increased electron temperature in a tokamak enhances the kinetic energy of electrons, which then emit higher-energy photons when decelerated by ions via bremsstrahlung. Because bremsstrahlung power is proportional to the square root of electron temperature, therefore the power increases quadratically, rather than linearly or remaining constant.
