Ok so i understand that after a switch in a circuit is closed for awhile the inductor acts like a battery, however, what happens after the switch is opened after being closed for awhile.
A review question asks whether the energy:
- is converted to sound and spark
- remains stored in the inductor
- goes into driving the current across the resistor
I want to say it is stored in the inductor, but i know that after the switch is left open for awhile, the emf is zero. So i don't know whether the energy is considered to be stored in the inductor.
