To find the energy stored in the magnetic field after the current has built up to its equilibrium value, we first need to find the steady-state current in the coil.
When the current reaches its equilibrium value, the coil behaves like a resistor because the back-emf induced by the changing magnetic field is zero. Ohm's law can be applied:
I = V/R
where
I is the current
V is the voltage across the coil (10 V)
R is the resistance of the coil (4 Ω)
Plugging in the values:
Now that we have the steady-state current, we can find the energy stored in the magnetic field using the formula:
where
W is the energy stored in the magnetic field
L is the inductance of the coil (2 H)
I is the steady-state current (2.5 A)
Plugging in the values:
To express this in terms of 10
−2 J, divide by 10
−2:
6.25 ÷ 10
−2 = 625
Therefore, the energy stored in the magnetic field after the current has built up to its equilibrium value is 625 × 10
−2 J.

To find the impedance of the coil, we will use the formula Z = √(R^2 + (XL - XC)^2), where R is the resistance, XL is the inductive reactance, and XC is the capacitive reactance.
Given:
Inductance (L) = 2H
Resistance (R) = 4Ω
The inductive reactance (XL) can be calculated using the formula XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency and L is the inductance.
Assuming the frequency is not given, we cannot calculate the inductive reactance accurately. The inductive reactance depends on the frequency of the alternating current passing through the coil.
Similarly, the capacitive reactance (XC) cannot be determined without knowing the frequency and the capacitance.
Therefore, we cannot calculate the impedance of the coil without additional information.
