Using the appropriate distribution function, f(E) for electrons in metals, show that the probability of occupation of electrons at Fermi energy. Er for temperatures above 0 K is 0.5. If the temperature is raised to 100 K, will the probability of occupation at E, increase or remain the same? Use the distribution function to prove your answer.
