How to calculate
Find magnetic energy stored in an ideal inductor.
Stored energy = l/1000*i^2/2 J
Worked example
Inductance (mH): 100; Inductor current (A): 2.
Stored energy: 0.2 J.
Assumptions and limits
Uses ideal components and the units shown. This calculation does not establish component ratings, wiring safety or regulatory compliance. Constant inductance is assumed; core saturation and losses are excluded.
Results are rounded for display; calculations use unrounded values. Read our calculation methodology.
