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 its magnetic field (E = ½LI²), which is an electromagnetic field, whereas a capacitor stores energy in an electric field and a resistor dissipates energy as heat.
Hint
Distinguish between magnetic field energy storage (inductor) and electric field energy storage (capacitor).
