ensembles in statistical mechanics
Ensembles in statistical mechanics refer to hypothetical collections or groups of similar physical systems that are used to analyze and predict the behavior of a single system. By considering ensembles, statistical mechanics allows us to make predictions about the macroscopic properties of a system based on statistical averages and probabilities obtained from a large number of microstates or possible configurations.
