If the current flow increases to 100 times, the energy stored in the inductor will increase to
Correct answer: C. 10000 times
- A. 100 times
- B. 1000 times
- C. 10000 times
- D. Remains same
Explanation
The energy stored in an inductor is given by:U = (1/2) * L * I^2where:U is the energy storedL is the inductance of the inductorI is the current flowing through the inductorIf the current (I) increases to 100 times its original value, the energy stored (U) will increase by the square of the current increase:apacheU' = (1/2) * L * (100I)^2 = 10,000 * (1/2) * L * I^2 = 10,000 * UTherefore, the energy stored in the inductor will increase to 10,000 times its original value.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
