The zero-temperature internal energy isUsing part (i),Consequently the adiabatic equation of state isThe pressure is degeneracy pressure: it remains nonzero at zero temperature because of the Pauli exclusion principle. By comparison, a classical ultrarelativistic ideal gas at fixed temperature obeys , so its corresponding volume exponent is one and its pressure vanishes as .
