    Question

    The average energies of the free electrons in a sample of a metal at 0 K and 60 K are E₀ and E₆₀, respectively. The ratio E₀/E₆₀ is

    A.

    <1

    B.

    infinite

    C.

    > 1

    D.

    = 1​

    Correct option is A


    Correct answer is A
    Calculation:
    At T = 0 K:
    Average energy = Fermi energy (E0).
    At T = 60 K:
    Thermal effects cause a small increase in average energy (E60).
    So, E0/E60 ⇒ slightly less than 1.
