Question

The equivalent quantity of mass in an inductor circuit is:

• A. charge
• B. potential
• C. inductance
• D. current

Answer 1

The correct option is C inductance

C. Inductance.

The inductance of an inductor is referred to as the "inertia of electricity".

Kinetic energy in mechanics,

$K=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$

where $m=$ mass of the object

$v=$velocity of the object

The magnetic energy stored in an inductor,

$K^{\prime }=\frac{1}{2}L{I}^2$

where $L=$ inductance of the inductor and

$I=$ current through the inductor

So, here from the above equation, we can conclude that inductance is equivalent to mass in electricity.
