 Problem 16E

An inductor used in a dc power supply has an inductance of 12.0 H and a resistance of 180 Ω. It carries a current of 0.300 A. (a) What is the energy stored in the magnetic field? (b) At what rate is thermal energy developed in the inductor? (c) Does your answer to part (b) mean that the magnetic-field energy is decreasing with time? Explain.

ANSWER:

Solution 16E

Step 1 :

Introduction :

In this question, we need to find the energy in the magnetic field

In second part, we need to find  the rate at which thermal energy is developed in the inductor

And finally we need to explain if the result second part, mean magnetic field energy is decreasing with time

Data given

Inductance

Resistance

Current
