equipartition principle

Question

Energy per degree of freedom is:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

The **Law of Equipartition of Energy** states that for a system in thermal equilibrium at temperature $T$, the total energy is distributed equally among all its degrees of freedom. 
- The average energy associated with each degree of freedom is $\frac{1}{2} k_B T$.
- For a molecule with $f$ degrees of freedom, the total average internal energy per molecule is $\frac{f}{2} k_B T$.
