Law of equipartition of energy for NEET Physics

A quick, NEET-focused explanation of this topic from the Kinetic Theory of Gases chapter of Physics.

What Is Law of equipartition of energy?

The law of equipartition of energy states that energy is equally distributed among all degrees of freedom in a system at thermal equilibrium.

Key Points to Remember in Law of equipartition of energy

Each degree of freedom contributes (1/2)kT to the total energy, where k is Boltzmann's constant and T is temperature.
