On the other hand, it could be argued that the ideal gas model is inappropriate because
charged particles exert tremendous long-range forces on each other. Not only that, there
are frequent collisions between all the charged particles. However, analysis shows that the
problem lies with the
classical
Drude treatment, not with the ideal gas model.
