When a current \(I\) flows through a coil, it stores the energy \(E_1\) in it. Now the current is reduced to \(\frac{l}{2}\), the energy stored in the coil becomes \(E_2\). The change in the energy is

  1. A \(\frac{E_1}{4}\)
  2. B \(\frac{3 E_1}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{4 E_1}{3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{E_1}{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3 E_1}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy stored in the coil \(E \propto I^2\)
\(\therefore E_1 \propto I^2 \text { and } E_2 \propto\left(\frac{I}{2}\right)^2\)
On taking the ratio:
\(E_1=4 E_2\)
The change in energy is \(E_1-E_2=E_1-\frac{E_1}{4}=\frac{3 E_1}{4}\)
