Suppose two systems, each composed of three particles
represented by circles, have 30 J of total energy.
System A: 10 J There are three balls: blue, red, and green.
System B: 12 J There is a red ball.
System C 10 J There is a blue ball.
System D 8 J There is a green ball.
In how many energetically equivalent ways can you distribute the
particles in System A?
In how many energetically equivalent ways can you distribute the
particles in System B?
