Extra Practice

The Boltzmann energy distribution is given by: P(E)dE=constantEe−EkTdEP(E) dE = constant \sqrt{E}e^{-\dfrac{E}{kT}}dEP(E)dE=constantE​e−kTE​dE ? 
 What is the most probable energy in this distribution?
 

What happens to the internal energy if temperature of a system becomes double?

Practice Question 2

Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

According to equipartition theorem each degree of freedom contributes 1/2kT
 energy to the system.
