#### Question 4.
The Fermi Surface is the boundary of the fermi sea below which all states are occupied at zero temperature, it respecitvely a line, circle or a sphere in the 1,2 or the 3rd dimension.

#### Question 5.
If the electrons in the solid can be described by the free electron model, the heat capacity is dominated by the electrons, since $T^3$ decreases faster than $T$ as $T->0$.

#### Question 4.
You need the dispersion relation: $N_{states} = \int_0^{\varepsilon_0}n_F(\beta(\varepsilon-\mu)) \textrm{d} \varepsilon$.
You need the dispersion relation, the integral boundaries are $\int_0^{\varepsilon_0}$.
