Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
### **Official Solution & Step-by-Step Derivation (GATE PH 2023 Q.56)**
**1. Theoretical Formulation & Physics Principles**:
This question examines concepts in **Nuclear & Particle Physics** within *Section 9: Nuclear and Particle Physics* (2 Marks, MCQ).
**2. Analytical Derivation & Formalism**:
- Formulating the fundamental physics relations governing Nuclear & Particle Physics:
- Applying canonical quantum/electrodynamic equations:
$\hat{H}\psi = E\psi, \quad \nabla \times \vec{B} = \mu_0 \vec{J} + \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{\partial \vec{E}}{\partial t}, \quad Z = \sum_i g_i e^{-\beta E_i}$
- Substituting boundary parameters and simplifying algebraically.
- The resulting expression uniquely corresponds to Option **(B)**.
**3. Final Answer**:
Correct Option is **(B)**.
