Question 384: Thermodynamics & KTG

Question

What will be the average value of energy along one degree of freedom for an ideal gas in thermal equilibrium at a temperature T? (kB is Boltzmann constant)

Accepted Answer

Energy associated with each digress of freedom is $${1 \over 2}{k_B}T$$.

Answer

$${1 \over 2}{k_B}T$$

Answer

$${2 \over 3}{k_B}T$$

Answer

$${3 \over 2}{k_B}T$$

Answer

$${k_B}T$$
