I'm not really sure if this is even scientific but while calculating how much energy is stored in electromagnetic coils and capacitors, pretty much the same formula is used:
For electromagnetic coils it's U=0.5LI2
For capacitors it's U=0.5CV2
Why I think they're the same is that in a sense L to coils is sort of the same as C to capacitors. Same goes for V and I
The formula used for resistance is pretty much the same( well resistance doesn't store energy, uses it) with a slight difference which is there's no 0.5
U=RI2
Why don't we have the same pattern for resistance? Are these formulas even realevant?
