A coil resistance 20 Ω and inductance 5 H is connected with a 100 V battery. Energy stored in the coil will be :
41.5 J
62.50 J
125 J
250 J

Solution:

$$I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \text{ A}$$
$$U = \frac{1}{2} L I^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 5^2 = 62.5 \text{ J}$$

Energy stored = 62.5 J
