The magnetic potential energy stored in a certain inductor is \(25 \mathrm{~mJ}\), when the current in the inductor is \(50 \mathrm{~mA}\). What is inductance?

  1. A \(2.00 \mathrm{H}\)
  2. B \(0.20 \mathrm{H}\)
  3. C \(200 \mathrm{H}\)
  4. D \(20 \mathrm{H}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20 \mathrm{H}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic potential energy \(\mathrm{U}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{LI}^2\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \mathrm{L}=\frac{2 \mathrm{U}}{\mathrm{I}^2}=\frac{2 \times 25 \times 10^{-3}}{\left(50 \times 10^{-3}\right)^2} \\
& =20 \mathrm{H}
\end{aligned}
