Question: What happens to the energy stored in an inductor when the current through it is suddenly interrupted?

Options:

  1. It is dissipated as heat
  2. It is stored indefinitely
  3. It is released as a voltage spike
  4. It is converted to light

Correct Answer: It is released as a voltage spike

Solution: 

When the current through an inductor is interrupted, the energy is released as a voltage spike.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the energy stored in an inductor when the current through it is suddenly interrupted?
  • Inductor Energy Storage – Inductors store energy in a magnetic field when current flows through them, and this energy is released when the current is interrupted.
  • Voltage Spike – The sudden interruption of current causes a rapid change in magnetic field, leading to a high voltage spike as the inductor attempts to maintain the current flow.
