A solenoid of inductance \( 2 \mathrm{H} \) carries a current of \( 1 \mathrm{~A} \). What is the magnetic energy stored in a solenoid?

  1. A \( 12 \mathrm{~J} \)
  2. B \( 1 \mathrm{~J} \)
  3. C (1)
  4. D \( 05 \mathrm{~J} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 1 \mathrm{~J} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy stored in a solenoid is given as
\(E=\frac{1}{2} L I^{2}\)
Given, inductance of solenoid, \( \mathrm{L}=2 \mathrm{H} \); current in solenoid, \( \mathrm{I}=1 \mathrm{~A} \)
Therefore \( E=\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 1^{2}=1 \)
Thus, energy stored in solenoid = \( 1 \mathrm{~J} \)
