If a current carrying solenoid is compressed to half its length, the energy stored in its magnetic field is doubled. What is the source of this additional energy? Share with your friends Share 0 Shobhit Mittal answered this E=LI22v=ωLIas the inductance becomes half the current becomes double to maintain the volatge .hence new energyE'=L/22I22=2E hence energy becomes double .Regards 1 View Full Answer
