Use the result of Problem 23 to calculate the total translational kinetic energy of the conduction electrons in 1.00 $\mathrm{cm}^{3}$ of copper at $T=0 \mathrm{K} .$
Calculate the energy of a conduction electron in silver at 800 K, assuming the probability of finding an electron in that state is 0.950. The Fermi energy of silver is 5.48 eV at this temperature.
Show that the average kinetic energy of a conduction electron in a metal at $0 \mathrm{K}$ is given by $\bar{E}=3 E_{\mathrm{F}} / 5 .$ By way of contrast, note that all of the molecules in an ideal gas at 0 K have zero energy. Hint: Use the standard definition of an average given by $$ \bar{E}=\frac{\int_{0}^{\infty} E g(E) / \mathrm{FD}(E) d E}{N / V} $$ where $E_{\mathrm{F}}$ is in electron volts when $n$ is in electrons per cubic meter.
