If a current flowing in a coil is reduced to half of its initial value, the relation between the new energy \(\left(\mathrm{E}_2\right)\) and the original energy \(\left(E_1\right)\) stored in the coil will be

  1. A \(E_2=\frac{E_1}{4}\)
  2. B \(E_2=\frac{E_1}{2}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{E}_2=\mathrm{E}_1\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{E}_2=\mathrm{4E}_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(E_2=\frac{E_1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & E_1=\frac{1}{2} L_1^2, \quad E_2=\frac{1}{2} L_2^2 \\ & \therefore \frac{E_2}{E_1}=\left(\frac{I_2}{I_1}\right)^2=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2=\frac{1}{4} \\ & \therefore E_2=\frac{E_1}{4}\end{aligned}\)
