Electromagnetic Induction - Result Question 34

34. A 100 millihenry coil carries a current of $1 A$.

Energy stored in its magnetic field is [1991]

(a) $0.5 J$

(b) $1 A$

(c) $0.05 J$

(d) $0.1 J$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 34. (c)

Solution:

(c) $E=\frac{1}{2} L i^{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times(100 \times 10^{-3}) \times 1^{2}=0.05 J$ In building a steady current in the circuit, the source emf has to do work against self inductance of coil and whatever energy consumed for tis work stored in magnetic field of coil-called magnetic potential energy (u) of coil $u=\frac{1}{2} L I^{2}=\frac{N \phi i}{2}$
