Question:
A microcanonical ensemble represents:
A microcanonical ensemble represents:
Show Hint
Microcanonical ensembles describe systems with fixed total energy and no exchange of heat or particles.
Updated On: Mar 26, 2025
- A system in contact with heat reservoir
- An isolated system in equilibrium
- A system that can exchange particles with its surroundings
- A system under constant external pressure
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
A microcanonical ensemble describes a system with fixed energy, volume, and number of particles, meaning it is isolated from external influences.
