Practice question

**Magnetic energy density** u = B²/(2μ₀), for B=0.5 T, u=0.25/(2×4π×10⁻⁷)=0.25/(2.513×10⁻⁶)=99471 J/m³, large, but volume small, total energy moderate. Inductor stores energy in field, released when current interrupted causing spark. Emf is induced only when magnetic flux changes. A constant field with a stationary loop results in no flux change, hence no emf. Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀ N²A/l, M = e/(dI/dt) and U = ½ L I², result No change in magnetic flux follows, reflecting Faraday's law and Lenz's opposition.
