Equipartition of energy, law of statistical mechanics stating that, in a system in thermal equilibrium, on the average, an equal amount of energy will be associated with each independent energy state. Based on the work of physicists James Clerk Maxwell of Scotland and Ludwig Boltzmann of Germany, this law states specifically that a system of particles in equilibrium at absolute temperature T will have an average energy of 1/2kT associated with each degree of freedom (see freedom, degree of), in which k is the Boltzmann constant. In addition, any degree of freedom contributing potential energy will have another 1/2kT associated with it. For a system of s degrees of freedom, of which t have associated potential energies, the total average energy of the system is 1/2(s + t)kT.
