Electromagnetic coil and capacitors vs resistance

[QUOTE="Mohammad Hunter, post: 6007306, member: 619526"] 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=0.5LI[SUP]2[/SUP] For capacitors it's U=0.5CV[SUP]2[/SUP] 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=RI[SUP]2[/SUP] Why don't we have the same pattern for resistance? Are these formulas even realevant? [/QUOTE]
