Answer to Question #241422 in Physics for Sri

Question

If electrons are treated as distinguishable particles, at what temperature would they have an average energy of 5.5 eV? ( use kB=1.3806×10−23 J/K)

8.88 ×104 K


6.38 ×104 K


6.88 ×104 K


8.38 ×104 K

Answer 1

The Fermi temperature and Fermi energy are connected within the following equation:

$$T_F=\frac{E_F}{k_B}=63825\text{ K}.$$
