Energy stored in an inductor of inductance L carrying current I is
AL I²
BL I
C½ L I²
D½ L²I
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. ½ L I²
1. Building current from 0 to I requires work against the back-emf ε = L dI/dt.
2. Total work W = ∫₀^I L I dI = ½ L I².
3. This is stored as magnetic energy in the inductor.
