STANDARD Physics Equipartition of Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
According to equipartition law of energy each particle in a system of particles have thermal E equal to
A
E = kₑT
B
E = ½kₑT
C
E = 3kₑT
D
E = ³/₂kₑT
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
According to the equipartition theorem, each degree of freedom contributes ½kₑT to the energy. For a monatomic gas, which has 3 translational degrees of freedom, the total energy is 3/2kₑT.
