The magnetic potential energy stored in a certain inductor is 25 mJ, when the current in the inductor is 60 mA. This inductor is of inductance

  1. 0.138 H
  2. 138.88 H
  3. 13.89 H
  4. 1.389 H

Correct answer: 0.138 H

Solution

The magnetic potential energy stored in an inductor is given by the formula U = (1/2)LI². Rearranging for L, we get L = 2U/I². Substituting U = 25 × 10⁻³ J and I = 60 × 10⁻³ A, we find L = 2 × (25 × 10⁻³) / (60 × 10⁻³)² = 0.138 H.
