What is Equilibrium?

What is Equilibrium?

  • Equilibrium is a situation in which the forces in a system are in balance so that the situation is stable and unchanging. 

How Do I  Remember It?

  • Think of equilibrium as the balance point where things stay the same. It’s like a seesaw perfectly balanced, with neither end moving up or down.

Real World Example

  • In a competitive market, the equilibrium price and quantity occur where the demand and supply curves intersect. 
  • At this point, buyers are willing to purchase exactly the quantity that producers are willing to supply, leading to market stability without any excess supply or demand.
