Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Energy (E) = 0.5 * L * I²

Where:
E = Energy stored in the magnetic field (Joules)
L = Inductance of the coil (Henries)
I = Current flowing through the coil (Amperes)

Magnetic Field Energy Storage Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Magnetic Field Energy Storage Calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the inductance (L) of your coil in henries (H). This is the measure of the coil's ability to store magnetic energy.
  2. Enter the current (I) flowing through the coil in amperes (A).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the energy stored in the magnetic field.
  4. The result will be displayed in joules (J).

Working Principle

The energy stored in a magnetic field can be calculated using the formula:

E = 0.5 * L * I²

This formula shows that the energy stored is directly proportional to the inductance of the coil and the square of the current flowing through it.

Applications

This calculator is useful in various applications including:

  • Designing energy storage systems in electric vehicles
  • Understanding the energy storage capabilities of inductors in electronic circuits
  • Calculating energy losses in magnetic fields
