Q115 / 120 · VITEEE 2011 · Physics

A coil of resistance $10 \Omega$ and inductance $5 \mathrm{H}$ is connected to a $100 \mathrm{~V}$ battery. Then the energy stored in the coil is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $250 \mathrm{~J}$
  • B
    $250 \mathrm{erg}$
  • C
    $125 \mathrm{~J}$
  • D
    $125 \mathrm{erg}$

Solution

Final current, $\mathrm{I}=\frac{E}{R}=10 \mathrm{~A}$ Energystored in the magnetic field $\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{U}=\frac{1}{2} L i \\ \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times(10)^{2}=250 \mathrm{~J} \end{array}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
