Question

According to the Boltzmann's law of equipartition of energy, the energy per degree of freedom and at a temperature T K is :

• A. (3/2) KT
• B. (2/3) KT
• C. KT
• D. 1/2 KT

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1/2 KT

According to the Boltzmann's law of equipartition of energy, the energy per degree of freedom and at a temperature T (in kelvin ) is $\frac{1}{2}$ KT

where K=Boltzmann's constant and

T= temperature (in kelvin )
