โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we study an ideal electron gas in the presence of a uniform electromagnetic field and confinement by a three-dimensional harmonic potential. We find the partition function of this system and in the sequel we examine the Boltzmann statistics and Fermi-Dirac statistics applying the grand canonical ensemble method.

## Synopsis A statistical mechanical derivation of the expressions for both pressure and ponderomotive force in a dielectric is given in terms of averages over microscopic quantities. The existence of microscopic long-range interactions leads to the possibility of defining pressure and ponderomoti
The effects of a magnetic field on the self-shielding of an electron gas against small electrostatic perturbations V are studied by use of Bloch wave functions and by the random phase approximation. V is taken to be periodic along the field lines. It is demonstrated that in the weak field limit, p&
