Answer

${\bf 0.20}\;\rm J$

Work Step by Step

This energy stored in the inductor is given by $$U_{\rm L}=\frac{1}{2}LI^2\tag 1$$ We know that this energy depends on the inductance and the current. According to Ohm's law, the $$\varepsilon=IR_{tot}=I(R_{\rm inductor }+r)$$ Hence, $$I=\dfrac{\varepsilon}{R_{\rm inductor }+r}$$ Plug into (1), $$U_{\rm L}=\frac{1}{2}L\left[\dfrac{\varepsilon}{R_{\rm inductor }+r}\right]^2$$ Plug the known; $$U_{\rm L}=\frac{1}{2}(100\times 10^{-3})\left[\dfrac{(12)}{4+2}\right]^2$$ $$U_{\rm L}=\color{red}{\bf 0.20}\;\rm J$$
