Jul 24, 2014 at 5:58 comment added KabaT Electric field exists in a capacitor because of charges of opposite signs being located there what creates field between them. What creates the magnetic field in the coil? Spiral movement of charges? Is the energy used to create magnetic field taken grom moving electrons kinetic energy so they slow down or some other way?
Jul 23, 2014 at 5:44 comment added Volker Siegel There is a magnetic field inside the coil, which took energy to create, and now can do work; Just the same like the electric field in the capacitor takes energy to create, and can do work, right? Or are you asking on a different level of abstraction?
Jul 21, 2014 at 17:07 comment added KabaT I don't understand how precisely energy is stored there. Does vacuum inside gain some energy, or the electrons are excited to higher energetic states?
