Introduction

Do you do any work when moving a nail away from a magnet? What does this mean regarding the energy consumed? Is there any energy stored in the nail due to the magnetic field?

Is the magnetic field produced by a bar magnet equally strong everywhere around the magnet? How do you know this? What visual representation do you use to have a better understanding about the magnetic field strength in a certain region of space?

Do you think a RL circuit stores energy? Where do you base your answer?

Do you think two RL circuits affect the operation of each other when they are very close? Why?

In this tutorial, we will discuss more extensively about some properties of magnetic field such as energy stored in it and the density of this energy, especially in RL circuits, as the most flagrant example of interaction between electricity and magnetism. In addition, how two RL circuits placed near each other affect the operation of each other.
