Textbook Question
Chapter 2.3, Problem 11P
Use a computer to produce a table and graph, like those in this section, for two interacting two-state paramagnets, each Containing 100 elementary magnetic dipoles. Take a “unit” of energy to be the amount need to flip a single dipole from the “up” state (parallel to the external field) to the “down” state (antiparallel). Suppose that the total number of units of energy relative to the state with all dipoles pointing up, is 80; this energy can be shared in any way between the two paramagnets. What is the most probable macrostate, and what is its probability? What is the least probable macrostate, and what is its probability?
