To obtain a more clearly defined picture of the FermiDirac distribution, consider a system of 20 FermiDirac particles sharing 94 units of energy. By drawing diagrams like Figure P10.11, show that there are nine different microstates. Using Equation 10.2, calculate and plot the average number of particles in each energy level from 0 to 14E. Locate the Fermi energy at 0 K on your plot from the fact that electrons at 0 K fill all the levels consecutively up to the Fermi energy. (At 0 K the system no longer has 94 units of energy, but has the minimum amount of 90E.) 1 Microstate8 others?
