A coil of self-inductance 2.0 H carries a current that grows with time as I = 2*sin(t²) A. Find the energy stored in the coil during the interval in which the current rises from 0 to 2 A.
- 2 J
- 4 J
- 8 J
- 16 J
Correct answer: 4 J
Solution
Energy stored in an inductor is a state function of the instantaneous current: U = (1/2)*L*I². Although the current oscillates as 2*sin(t²), the question asks for the energy when the current first reaches 2 A. Plugging L = 2 H and I = 2 A gives U = (1/2)*2*4 = 4 J.
