Law of equipartition of energy:-

The average K.E associated with each molecule with each degree of freedom in 1/2 KT.

K=Boltzmann constant.
T=Absolute temperature.

Equipartition of Energy.

The theorem of equipartition of energy states that molecules in thermal equilibrium have the same average energy associated with each independent degree of freedom of their motion and that the ENERGY.
