Two inductors of inductance 4 II and 8 II are arrange in series and a current of 10 A is passed through them. What is the energy stored in them?
A
500 J
B
50 J
C
133 J
D
250 J
correct option: c

Effective inductance

(1)/L = (1)/4 + (1)/8 = (3)/8

∴ L = (8)/3

Energy stored = (1)/2 LI2

= (1)/2 x (8)/3 x 10 x 10 = (400)/3 = 133.3 J
