where is the energy stored in a electromagnetic field?

[leonheard]

correct me if am wrong.....

a capacitor stores energy from its electric field

and inductor (coil) stores energy from its magnetic field



1. an inductor (coil) creates an electromagnetic field

2. there is an electric field and magnetic field in an electromagnetic field

3. the energy is stored in the magnetic field, but… is the energy also stored in the electric field?

am confused, please help, thanks

an inductor (coil) creates an electromagnetic field

...only if the current is AC. If you apply DCc to a coil, you will find only a megnetic field.
If you apply AC of low frequency to a coil, the electric component of the field is small compared to the magnetic component.

thank you so much!
