Electric current is the movement of charge around a circuit and so cannot really be stored, however, the energy which it carries is stored in most things.

For a coil with electric current where is the energy associated with the magnetic field of the electric current stored?

The Magnetic field itself can do no work and is a byproduct of the electric current. The energy is stored in the current or provided by whatever drives the current.


What is a temporary source of electric current?

A battery is a common temporary source of electric current. When connected to a circuit, a battery transforms stored chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices or equipment. Once the stored energy is depleted, the battery needs to be recharged or replaced to continue providing electric current.


What kind of energy is stored in a battery can be used to produce electric current?

In most cases, chemical energy stored in the battery produces the electric current. Rechargeable batteries are capable of taking electric currents and using them to reverse the chemical reactions, thus gaining more chemical energy that can be used readily.


What is the reason behind the lag of current in inductor lead in capacitor?

The physics of the energy storage. In an inductor, the current must fight against the stored energy in the magnetic field which tries to keep the current unchanged. Any change in the current lags the voltage since the stored energy impacts the adjustment. Similarly, the "displacement" current in a capacitor leads the electric field buildup in a capacitor, causing the voltage to lag the current until the stored energy building up in the electric field stabilizes. Any change in the voltage is first preceded by a change in the displacement current.


Energy is a current carrying coil is stored in the form of?

The energy in a current-carrying coil is stored in the form of magnetic energy in the magnetic field produced by the coil. This magnetic energy is a result of the interaction between the current flowing through the coil and the magnetic field it generates.


What sort of energy is stored in an electrical cell?

Stored Chemical energy, which is transfered into the electrical item, pushing the negative charge which is electrisity.


What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?

Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.


What is the direction of flow of electric current in an electric current?

DC current


What is the opposite of a electric current?

The opposite of an electric current is the absence of an electric current, meaning no flow of electric charge through a conductor.


How reactive power is utilised and returned to the circuit?

The energy is stored in an inductor in the form of magnetic field and in capacitor as electric charges. In both cases, as the current increase,according to its sine wave form, the flux or electric charges build up i.e energy being stored. As the current start dropping the field or electric charge start dropping too thus energy is being fed back into the circuit.


What is a continuous flow of electricity is called?

A current.


What does an electric current Carry?

Electric current carries electric charge. Actually to say it in the right sense, we have to say that electric current is the rate of flow of electric charges
