    Statistical mechanics average energy

    Homework Statement average energy per particle u = (Eo + E1 e^(-B deltaE)) / (1 + e^(-B deltaE)) B = 1/T Homework Equations Possibly relevant: e^x = 1 + x^2 / 2! + x^3 / 3! ... The Attempt at a Solution It tells me the average energy is about u = Eo + (deltaE)e^(-B delatE) as...

    How to Solve for Average Energy as T Approaches 0 and Infinity

    I'm having some difficulties with a problem. Based on the constraints, I have found that the average energy per particle is u = (Eo + E1 e^(-B deltaE)) / (1 + e^(-B deltaE)). I know this is correct. However, I am having problems solving as T approaches 0 and infinity. B = 1/T It tells me the...
