Homework Statement



Determine the number of microstates where two particles have have energy 2eV, three have 3eV, three have energy 4eV, and two have 5eV.


10 indistinguishable Particles
1 particle allowed per state.

ε1 = 1eV ε2 = 2eV ε3 = 3eV ε4 = 4eV ε5 = 5eV ε6 = 6eV
g1 = 1 g2 = 5 g3 = 10 g4 = 10 g5 = 5 g6 = 1


Homework Equations

\textit{}

possibly \overline{n}i=\frac{1}{\textbf{e}^{(ε_{i}-μ)/kT}+1}

The Attempt at a Solution



Since the particles are indistinguishable I thought that there would only be one microstate, but I don't think that this is right... can someone point me in the right direction on how to start this problem?

figured it out, was missing a very relevant equation.
<br /> w_{\text{FD}}\left(N_1,N_2,\text{...}N_n\right)=∏ \frac{g_j!}{N_j!\left(g_j-N_j\right)!}<br />
<br /> w_{\text{FD}}\left(N_1,N_2,N_3,N_4,N_5,N_6\right)=\left(\frac{g_1!}{N_1!\left(g_1-N_1\right)!}\right)\left(\frac{g_2!}{N_2!\left(g_2-N_2\right)!}\right)\left(\frac{g_3!}{N_3!\left(g_3-N_3\right)!}\right)\left(\frac{g_4!}{N_4!\left(g_4-N_4\right)!}\right)\left(\frac{g_5!}{N_5!\left(g_5-N_5\right)!}\right)\left(\frac{g_6!}{N_6!\left(g_6-N_6\right)!}\right)<br />
<br /> w_{\text{FD}}(0,2,3,3,2,0)=\left(\frac{1!}{0!(1-0)!}\right)\left(\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\right)\left(\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}\right)\left(\frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}\right)\left(\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\right)\left(\frac{1!}{0!(1-0)!}\right)<br />
evaluates to 1,440,000
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
