Nuclear binding energy (B = Δm c²)
jee-mainjee-advancedneet-ug
B = Δm c²
What each symbol means
| Symbol | What it stands for |
|---|---|
| B | Binding energy (J or MeV) |
| c | Speed of light |
| Δm | Mass defect |
When to use this
Rest energy equivalence; use c² = (3×10⁸)² in SI or u→931.5 MeV shortcut.
