Step by step solution

01

Given Information

In a magnetic field B, a system of Nmagnetic dipoles arrange themselves so that their magnetic moment μpoints either parallel or anti parallel to the field.

Below is a table with the information provided.

02

Calculation

The expression for total energy is given as:

U=μBN-N..(1)

Where,

N= the number of dipoles pointing up

N= the number of dipoles pointing down

N=N+N= the total number of dipoles

The net magnetization is given as:

M=μN-N=-UB...(2)

Where,

B= the magnetic field

U= the total energy

The multiplicity of states is given as:

Ω=N!N!(NN)!=N!N!!N!.(3)

Most popular questions from this chapter

In Problem 1.55 you used the virial theorem to estimate the heat capacity of a star. Starting with that result, calculate the entropy of a star, first in terms of its average temperature and then in terms of its total energy. Sketch the entropy as a function of energy, and comment on the shape of the graph.

Consider a monatomic ideal gas that lives at a height z above sea level, so each molecule has potential energy mgzin addition to its kinetic energy.

(a) Show that the chemical potential is the same as if the gas were at sea level, plus an additional term mgz:

μ(z)=-kTlnVN2πmkTh23/2+mgz.

(You can derive this result from either the definition μ=-T(S/N)U,Vor the formula μ=(U/N)S,V.

(b) Suppose you have two chunks of helium gas, one at sea level and one at height z, each having the same temperature and volume. Assuming that they are in diffusive equilibrium, show that the number of molecules in the higher chunk is

N(z)=N(0)e-mgz/kT

in agreement with the result of Problem 1.16.

In Problem 2.32you computed the entropy of an ideal monatomic gas that lives in a two-dimensional universe. Take partial derivatives with respect to U,A, and N to determine the temperature, pressure, and chemical potential of this gas. (In two dimensions, pressure is defined as force per unit length.) Simplify your results as much as possible, and explain whether they make sense.

Consider an Einstein solid for which both N and q are much greater than 1. Think of each oscillator as a separate "particle."

(a) Show that the chemical potential is

role="math" localid="1646995468663" μ=-kTlnN+qN

(b) Discuss this result in the limits Nqand Nq, concentrating on the question of how much Sincreases when another particle carrying no energy is added to the system. Does the formula make intuitive sense?

In solid carbon monoxide, each CO molecule has two possible orientations: CO or OC. Assuming that these orientations are completely random (not quite true but close), calculate the residual entropy of a mole of carbon monoxide.
