Problem 1: White dwarf star A white dwarf star is essentially a degenerate electron gas, with a bunch of nuclei mixed in to balance the charge and to provide the gravitational attraction that holds the star together. White dwarf stars tend to be extremely hot by our standards; nevertheless, it is an excellent approximation in this problem to set T=0. The gravitational potential energy inside a star of uniform density is Ugrav = 3 см2 a) Assuming that the star contains one proton and one neutron for each electron, and that the electrons are nonrelativistic, show that the total (kinetic) energy of the degenerate electrons equals h²M³ Ukinetic = (0.0088)- męm R? b) The equilibrium radius of the white dwarf is that which minimize the total energy Ugrav + Ukinetie: Sketch the total energy as a function of R, and find a formula for the equilibrium radius in terms of the mass.
