Electromagnetic Induction — Easy JEE physics MCQ
**[JEE Mains 2026]** In a series R–L circuit, the voltage of the battery is 12 V. Resistance is 4 Ω and inductance is 2 H. Find the energy stored in the inductor when the current reaches half of its maximum value.
- A. 2.25 J
- B. 4.5 J
- C. 9 J
- D. 1.125 J
Solution
Maximum current I₀ = V/R = 12/4 = 3 A.
When I = I₀/2 = 1.5 A.
Energy = (1/2)LI² = (1/2) × 2 × (1.5)² = 2.25 J.
