A capacitor stores energy in an electric field; an inductor stores energy in a magnetic field. When a capacitor is connected to a voltage source, its voltage gradually increases and its current gradually decreases; when an inductor is connected to a voltage source, its current gradually increases and its

Energy Storage in InductorsInductor Construction and OperationEnergy Storage ProcessFactors Affecting Energy StorageConclusionAs the current flows through the inductor, the magnetic field builds up and stores energy. The energy stored in the inductor is proportional to the square of the current and the inductor''s inductance. When the current decreases or stops, the magnetic field collapses, and the stored energy is released back into the circuit. This phenomenon is knownSee more on electricity-magnetism Fiveable
