Asked in ETEA MDCAT 2006 2006Moderate

A 50-m coil carries a current of 2 amperes. The energy stored in a magnetic field is:

Correct answer: B. 0.1 joule

  • A. 10 joule
  • B. 0.1 joule
  • C. 0.01 joule
  • D. 1.0 joule

Explanation

Using the formula for energy stored in magnetic field of a coil (E = ½ × L × I²)E = ½ × L × I² E = ½ × (50 × 10-3) × (2)² = 0.1 J

About AC Through Resistor, Capacitor and Inductor

Alternating current through a resistor, capacitor and inductor involves phase relationships between voltage and current, reactance, impedance and energy transfer. A resistor keeps voltage and current in phase, while a capacitor and inductor produce opposite phase shifts, a distinction used in circuit diagrams and numerical calculations.
