The deuteron is bound by nuclear forces just as the $H$-atom is made up of a proton and an electron bound by electrostatic forces. If we consider the force between the neutron and proton in a deuteron as given in the form of a Coulomb potential but with an effective charge $e'$: $F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{e'^2}{r^2}$,estimate the value of $(e'/e)$ given that the binding energy of a deuteron is $2.2 \text{ MeV}$.

If the binding energy per nucleon in $Li^7$ and $He^4$ nuclei are respectively $5.60 \ MeV$ and $7.06 \ MeV$, then the energy of the reaction $Li^7 + p \to 2He^4$ is ......... $MeV$.

$A$ given coin has a mass of $3.0\; g$. Calculate the nuclear energy that would be required to separate all the neutrons and protons from each other. For simplicity, assume that the coin is entirely made of $_{29}^{63} Cu$ atoms (of mass $62.92960\; u$).

The binding energy for the following nuclear reactions are expressed in $MeV$.
