Stored Energy (J)0.005000 J

Stored Energy vs Inductance

Inductor Energy Storage

E = 0.5 x L x I^2

Energy is stored in the magnetic field. It scales with the square of current.

Example Calculation

10 mH inductor carrying 1 A.

  1. 01L = 10 mH = 0.01 H
  2. 02E = 0.5 x 0.01 x 1^2 = 0.005 J = 5 mJ
