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

Solution

For current I through an inductor coil having inductance L , Magnetic potential energy stored in the inductor is given by 
U=12LI2

Given 

U=25 mJ=25×10-3 J

I=60 mA =60×10-3 A
  25×10-3=12L60×10-32
Solving L=13.89 H
