2) Consider systems A and B in thermal contact. System A is a "two-part" and system B a "four-part" system. A has two distinguishable particles, each with non-degenerate states containing energies 0,?,2?,3? and B has four distinguishable particles, each having nondegenerate states containing energies 0,?,2?,3?. The total energy E=3?. (a) Calculate the probability for (i) All energy (3?) to be in system A. (ii) All energy (3?) to be in system B. (iii) System A to have an energy ? and system B to have an energy 2?. (iv) System B to have an energy 2? and system B to have an energy ?. (b) What is the sum of your answers in (i)-(iv). Why? (c) Calculate the average energy in system A using (i)-(iv). Was this result expected?
