Q130 / 150 · MHT CET 2012 · Physics

An inductor may store energy in

A
its electric field
B
its coil
Correct answer
C
its magnetic field
D
Both electric and magnetic fields

Solution

An inductor stored energy in its magnetic field. Energy $1=\frac{1}{2} L i^{2}$, where $L i$ is magnetic flux.

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