We have the rate of change of number of electrons with energy directly proportional to the volume in an 3-D potential well.
For a white dwarf, the mass is inversely proportional to its volume.
If we consider the electrons in a white dwarf to be in such a potential well, dN/dE becomes inversely proportional to the mass of the white dwarf which,to me, is hard to digest because with more mass the number of electrons is supposed to increase.
