The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Here, R = 20$\Omega$, L = 20 H and E = 120 V $\therefore$ $I_0 = \frac{E}{R} = \frac{120}{20}$ = 6A Energy stored = $\frac{1}{2} LI_0\, ^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 36$ = 360 J

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-

  1. When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
  2. When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.

Formula:

The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-

e=N × d∅.dt

Where

  • e = induced voltage
  • N = number of turns in the coil
  • Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
  • t = time

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

  1. Electromagnetic induction in AC generator
  2. Electrical Transformers
  3. Magnetic Flow Meter
