Answer

The energy stored in the magnetic field is $~~5.10~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the current at $t = 2.00~s$: $i = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{R}~(1-e^{-tR/L})$ $i = \frac{10.0~V}{6.70~\Omega}~[1-e^{-(2.00~s)(6.70~\Omega)/(5.50~H)}]$ $i = 1.362~A$ We can find the energy stored in the magnetic field: $U_B = \frac{i^2~L}{2}$ $U_B = \frac{(1.362~A)^2~(5.50~H)}{2}$ $U_B = 5.10~J$ The energy stored in the magnetic field is $~~5.10~J$
