A coil of resistance \(5 \Omega\) and inductance \(4 \mathrm{H}\) is connected to a \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) battery. The energy stored in the coil

  1. A \(0.8 \mathrm{~J}\)
  2. B \(8 \mathrm{~J}\)
  3. C \(16 \mathrm{~J}\)
  4. D \(4 \mathrm{~J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(8 \mathrm{~J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Stored energy, \(U=\frac{1}{2} L i^{2}=\frac{1}{2} L\left(\frac{E}{R}\right)^{2}\)
Here, \(E=10 \mathrm{~V}, L=4 \mathrm{H}\) and \(R=5 \Omega\)
\(\therefore\)
\(U=\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times\left(\frac{10}{5}\right)^{2} \mathrm{~J}=8 \mathrm{~J}\)
