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 answerA$250 \mathrm{~J}$
- 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'.
