Question
Which of the following circuit elements stores energy in an electromagnetic field?
Correct Answer
Option A is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
An inductor stores energy in the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through it. A capacitor (also called a condenser) stores energy in an electric field between its plates. A resistor dissipates energy as heat.
Hint
Think about the type of field (electric or magnetic) associated with energy storage in passive circuit components.
