Question

What is the law of equipartition of energy?

Answer 1

Law of equipartition of energy:

1. The law of energy equipartition states that the total energy for every dynamic system in thermal equilibrium is evenly shared among the degrees of freedom.
2. Each molecule's energy associated with each degree of freedom is $\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{kT}$

Here, $K$ is the Boltzmann’s constant and $T$ is the temperature in absolute scale.
