alleryStart learning →The current through an inductor is doubled. By what factor does the stored magnetic energy change?
AIt becomes double
BIt becomes half
CIt becomes four times
DIt is unchanged
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. It becomes four times
Stored energy is proportional to the square of current, so doubling current gives four times the energy.
