I don't understand what the above significance is about. At first
blush you seem to provide proof of point for our assertions. Shouldn't
both devices store the same energy? In your example, the inductor (an
electrodynamic device) has has 100 X the energy of the capacitor (an
electrostatic device). This appears to be a two order of magnitude
inflation of energy of the electromagnetic device over the
electrostatic device. Could it possibly be error traced back to the
faulty experiment purporting to unify EM and ES coulombically?
