  2. B 2 times
  3. C half times
  4. D \(\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) times
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\text {th }}\) times

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy stored in LR circuit is
\(\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{E} & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{LI}^2 ...(i)\\
\mathrm{I}^{\prime} & =\frac{\mathrm{I}}{2} \\
\mathrm{E}^{\prime} & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~L} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{2}\right)^2 \\
& =\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{LI}^2 \\
\mathrm{E}^{\prime} & =\frac{1}{4} \times \mathrm{E}
\end{aligned}\)
