Energy in a current carrying coil is stored in the form of (a) electric field only (b) magnetic field only (c) dielectric strength (d) both (a) and (b)

Answer: (b). A current-carrying coil produces a magnetic field; its energy 12 LI² is stored in that field only. So the answer is (b) magnetic field only.

Self-Inductance & Energy

Energy in a current carrying coil is stored in the form of

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

A current-carrying coil produces a magnetic field; its energy $\tfrac12 LI^2$ is stored in that field only.
So the answer is (b) magnetic field only.
