9. The current in an inductor of self-inductance 80 mH is 0.40 A. Calculate the energy stored in
the inductor. What is the form of energy stored in the inductor?

10. An inductor has self-inductance of 25 mH and carry a current of up to 5.0 A.

(a) What is the energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor when the steady
current in it is maximum?
(b) The energy in the inductor is completely discharged in 5.0 ms. Calculate the mean
back e.m.f induced in the inductor.
