2 Equipartition The laws of statistical mechanics lead to a surprising, simple, and useful result — the Equipartition Theorem. In thermal equilibrium, the average energy of every degree of freedom is the same: hEi = 1 /2 kBT. A degree of freedom is a way in which the system can move or store energy. (In this expression and what follows, h· · ·i means the average of the quantity in brackets.) One consequence of this is the physicists’ form of...
