Yes, once current starts going through an inductor, it tends to continue going through that inductor in the same direction -- even if that inductor is completely disconnected from everything else.
Unfortunately, all available inductors ( even superconducting magnetic energy storage systems -- see link below ) store relatively little energy.
You can, however, store the means to produce a current. A battery is such a storage device: when charged, it can produce a current in a conductor.
Also, a capacitor stores an electric charge, which when released will produce a current.

∙ 14y agoStrictly speaking "current" is not stored ... unless you want to talk about modern, superconducting magnets. What we're able to store, move from place to place, and use when we want it, is either electric charge, or energy in some other form that can be converted to electrical energy. Charge can be stored in a capacitor or a Leiden jar. If you haven't heard of these, that's because these are not effective ways to store useful amounts of electricity for useful lengths of time. Energy can be stored for later use in batteries or springs (on a small scale), or in water raised and stored high off the ground (water towers and hydro-dams on larger scale).

∙ 9y agoInductors are considered current storage devices because the magnetic field that is created as current flows through the coil within the device causes the device to resist any change in the rate at which the current flows through it. Since inductors are basically just coils of wire inside they act like closed switches when placed in a DC circuit. However, in a high-frequency AC circuit, an inductor's property of resisting changes in current cause it to act like an open switch.

Resistor get hot when an electrical current flows through it?
A: the answer lies with the power consumption of any device while operating normaly.
What happens when you connect a low current device to a high current source?
The High current source otherwise known as the supply, can handle any low current device or low current load as long as the voltages are the same. The higher the Supply current or as you call the source the better for any device/load
Is it possible to have an electrical current that consists of something other than electrons?
Yes, and electrical current is the flow of electrons OR any other charged particle.
What risks may occur when working with electricity and what is a five step plan to reduce the risk?
If you don't understand how electricity can kill you, don't mess with it.Always turn off the source of power before working with any electric device or wiring.Use a test meter to verify power has been turned off before working on any electrical device or wiring.Always ensure that any breakers or fuses protecting a circuit limit current to the specified value of wiring and devices connected to the circuit.Ensure all electrical devices are properly grounded.
Are Voltage and Current two important components to robotics?
Voltage and current are important parameters in any electrical and electronic devices and apparatus, including robotics.
Resistor get hot when an electrical current flows through it?
A: the answer lies with the power consumption of any device while operating normaly.
What electrical device works by adding primary colors?
Any electrical device that emits Light
What is current capacity?
It refers to a device any device whereby the device has limit to carry current. Therefore the term current capacity
What is a trasmitter?
a trasmitter is a device that sends out an electrical current to the sattelite in the space to get any kind of connection like talking on the telephone or the internet or even to radio
Why do you lose electric current while using any electric device?
The device in question needs energy to work; the energy has to come from somewhere. In the case of electrical devices, they have been specifically designed to take their energy from the electrical network - or in some cases, of a battery.
A device that produces a magnetic field by an electric current?
Any device with an electrical current will create a magnetic field. A tube of wire coils with a current running through it is called a solenoid and it will produce a magnetic field through the inside of the tube, as well as around it... Sorry, not much for physics.
Are storage devices able to hold any size complex programs?
As long as your device has enough space for it, a storage device can always (I think) store a program of any size. An example of this is your computer's internal hard drive, which is a storage device even though it is not removable.
In computer what is backing storage device describe any two of them?
Define backing storage devices and describe any two of them
How many percentage leakage current allow?
The maximum allowable leakage current for any electrical device is 0.5 mA. This is equivalent to 0.5% of the rated current. This is a safety requirement to ensure that any current leakage is minimal and will not cause any harm to the user or damage to the device.Maximum allowable leakage current: 0.5 mAEquivalent to 0.5% of the rated currentIt is important to adhere to the safety requirements to ensure the safety of users and the protection of the device.
What produces the electrical energy that is being measured by the voltmeter?
Any electrical device that you connect it to.
What mean Frame Ground?
The frame of a device is usually the supporting structure that holds the electrical device. The electrical code requires that the frame of any electrical device be brought down to ground potential. This is done with a ground wire taken from the frame of the device and connected to the service distribution ground. This is also classed as a bond wire. Now if a fault current occurs any where in the bonded system, the fault current will travel back to the distribution panel and trip the circuit breaker of the faulted circuit removing the voltage from the faulted circuit..
Why do ballast get burned?
Heat is generated in a working ballast because of the current flowing through it. Heat is bad for any electrical/electronic device and will eventually cause it to fail.
