Did we solve your problem today?

The Boltzmann factor gives the relative probability of a state at a given energy and temperature.

The math behind it

e^(−E/kT). Higher-energy states are exponentially less likely, especially at low temperature.

Worked example

E = 4 × 10⁻²¹ J at 300 K → about 0.38.
