Consider a one-dimensional lattice (with lattice spacing a) along X-axis with sites labelled by x = 0, 1, 2, ..., L. A particle carrying charge -q can occupy any one of these sites. An electric field of strength E is applied in the positive x-direction. The average energy of the particle at temperature T (in the limit L → ∞) is (β = 1kB T):
