- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
The formula for calculating the magnetic energy stored in an inductor is given by:
$$E = \frac{1}{2} L I^2$$
where:
- $E$ is the energy stored (in joules, J),
- $L$ is the inductance of the inductor (in henrys, H),
- $I$ is the current flowing through the inductor (in amperes, A).
Plugging the given values into the formula:
$$E = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \mu H \times (2 A)^2$$
$$E =\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 10^{-6} H \times 4 A^2$$
$$E = 2 \times 10^{-6} H \cdot 4$$
$$E = 8 \times 10^{-6} J$$
Hence, the energy stored in the inductor is $8 \mu J$.
