Energy stored in inductor via inductance and current¶

Inductors store energy in the magnetic field when the current is flowing through it.

energy¶: energy stored in the magnetic field.

Symbol:: W
Latex:: \(W\)
Dimension:: energy

inductance¶: inductance of the inductor.

Symbol:: L
Latex:: \(L\)
Dimension:: inductance

current¶: current flowing through the inductor.

Symbol:: I
Latex:: \(I\)

law¶

W = L * I^2 / 2

Latex:: \[W = \frac{L I^{2}}{2}\]
