Studying the free electron model I found the fermi dirac distribution and the book told me that when T->0 we have that the fermi energy is equal to the chemical potential... why?

Er... are you sure you read it right? For metals (free electrons), at T=0, the Fermi energy is equal to the chemical potential, not at T>0.

Zz.

with the arrow i mean the limit T=0
