What type of electrical component stores energy in a magnetic field?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. Inductor
An inductor stores energy in a magnetic field. Current flowing through its coil creates a magnetic field around it, and that field holds the energy. A capacitor uses an electric field instead.
Tip: Inductor = coil = magnetic field.
