If the current through an inductor were doubled, the energy stored in the inductor would be:halved.quartered.the same.quadrupled.doubled.
Energy in an inductor is proportional to I^2. So when the current is doubled, the stored energy goes up by a factor of 4 (2I)^2 4 * I^2. So the answer is quadrupled.
Energy Stored In An Inductor
Energy in an inductor (1/2) * L * I^2 If doubled, it becomes (1/2) * L * (2I)^2 which equals: (4/2) * L * I^2 So the energy stored in the inductor also doubles (4/2 2).
