IS Reif, problem 6.8. Hint: The energy of a dipole p in an electric field is E= - P. . For each pair of te and -e charges compute the 4 possible energies. Minimize the entropy under constraint of constant mean energy. Show that the mean electric dipole is given by : 7 = -af/ae. Where the free energy F = kpl 10 = -kpT InZ. = IS Reif, problem 6.8.
