9.8 Exercise 28

Avg difficulty 2.5

For an electron in a three-dimensional metal, show that the average energy is given by E−=1N∫0EFEg(E)dE=35EF,\overset{−}{E} = \frac{1}{N} \int_{0}^{E_{\text{F}}} E g \left(E\right) d E = \frac{3}{5} E_{\text{F}} ,

Where N is the total number electrons in the metal.
