Abstract
The Fermi energy, average total kinetic energy density, and also average kinetic energy of finite diamagnetic motion of an electron gas of specified concentration are calculated. The kinetic energy of continuous longitudinal motion of the electrons along the direction of an external magnetic field H is determined. It is found that in the quantum limit, when the maximum Landau quantum number Nm=0, the kinetic energy of continuous longitudinal motion tends to zero with increase in the external magnetic field strength. If the maximum Landau quantum number is greater than zero, the longitudinal and transverse kinetic energy components of the degenerate electron gas change only insignificantly.
