Which is true about the potential energy stored in an inductor?

It depends on the current

Explanation:

The formula for the energy stored in an inductor is W = 1/2 * L*I2

We can state that an electric current flowing in inductor, there is energy stored in the magnetic field. let consider the pure inductor L, and the power which is supplied to initiate the current in inductor.

consider the equation P = i*v

write the equation in terms of inductor.

P = L*i di/dt

P*dt = L*i di

rewrite the Energy equation W = / int_{0}^{t}P*dt

W = / int_{0}^{t} L*i di

by solving we will get the W = 1/2 * L*I2

From this information and formula we can state that he energy stored in an inductor depends on the current.

The complete option for the question

a. it depends on the self induced emf

b it depends on the inverse of the self induced emf

C. it depends on the current

d. it depends on the inverse of current

Answer is. it depends on the current

Explanation:

The energy stored in an inductor is W=1/2LI^2

From this equation it can be seen that energy in inductor L depends on current L
