Inductor Energy Uses Flux and Inductance - Superconducting Qubits: LC Energy, Toy Josephson Coupling, and Readout Step by Step

Inductor energy is computed from flux and inductance. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Flux and inductance set inductor energy

The standalone source uses flux 2 webers and inductance 2 henry, giving inductor energy 1 joule.

E_L=\frac{\Phi^{2}}{2L}=\frac{2^{2}}{2\cdot 2}=1\ \text{J}

The checked total comes from the active store

The checked standalone total is 1 joule because this source sets the charge term to 0.

0+1=1\ \text{J}
