Total different combinations = 2*2*2*2*2 = 25 =32
Combinations with 4 having spin up and other having spin down = 5C4 = 5
Probability that four have spin up while other have spin down
= 5/32 = 0.15625

Consider one dimensional lattice of N particles having a spin of 1 /2 with an associated magnetic moment μ The spins are kept in a magnetic field with magnetic induction B along the z direction. The spin can point either up, t, or down, , relative to the z axis. The energy of particle with spin down is e B and that of particle with spin up is ε--B. We assume that the system is isolated from. its environment so...
4. When an external magnetic field B is applied, a "spin-1" ion has 3 magnetic states with energies given Em=aBm, m=-1,0,1, where a is a constant of order a few times the Bohr magneton up = en/(2m). (Note: the notation here is quite different from that of Kittel & Kroemer who use "m" for the elementary magnetic moment which we have denoted a. In our terminology, m=ms is an integer quantum number: m=-1 labels the "spin down" state, m=0 labels...
