Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
It is applicable when the ______ is high enough or the particle density is low enough to render quantum effects negligible.
Answer
temperature. It is applicable when the temperature is high enough or the particle density is low enough to render quantum effects negligible. From the Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics. Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics 69 · Dynamical systems theory 66 · Patriarch Nikon of Moscow 63 · Nightlife 56 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is applicable when the temperature is high enough or the particle density is low enough to render quantum effects negligible.
- The expected number of particles with energy ε i for Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics is ⟨ N i ⟩ = g i e / k B T = N Z g i e − ε i / k B T, where: ε i is the energy of the ith energy level, ⟨ N i ⟩ is the average number of particles in the set of states with energy ε i, g i is the degeneracy of energy level i, that is, the number of states with energy ε i which may nevertheless be distinguished from…
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics article was read about 26,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 39: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
How to get Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
