What Is Preventing A White Dwarf From Collapsing?
A) Nuclear Fusion
B) Pauli Exclusion Principle
C) Combustion Reactions
Answer Below!
The correct answer is option B. When stars like our sun die and run out of fuel to fuse heavier atoms, what causes them to stay in a state of equilibrium without collapsing due to gravity? Well, a quantum mechanical process called the Pauli Exclusion Principle comes to save the day. It states that no like particles such as two electrons that have the same quantum numbers can’t share space, so they repel each each other, creating an outward force.
