Question

Which of the following statements about electron degeneracy pressure and neutron degeneracy pressure is true? a.Both electron degeneracy pressure and neutron degeneracy pressure help govern the internal structure of a main-sequence star.b. The life of a white dwarf is an ongoing battle between electron degeneracy pressure and neutron degeneracy pressure.c. In a black hole, the pressure coming from neutron degeneracy pressure is slightly greater than that coming from electron degeneracy pressure.d. Electron degeneracy pressure is the main source of pressure in white dwarfs, while neutron degeneracy pressure is the main source of pressure in neutron stars.

Answer 1

Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Electron degeneracy pressure is that pressure that prevents dwarf stars from collapsing while neutron degeneracy pressure creates effective pressure that can prevent further gravitational collapse from a neutron star.
