Correct @Pavan.
The Energy will be 1/8th of L.
E=0.5Li^2,
E=0.5*L(0.5)^2,
E=(1/8)th of L.
The Energy will be 1/8th of L.
E=0.5Li^2,
E=0.5*L(0.5)^2,
E=(1/8)th of L.

@Santhosh.
1/2LI^2means,
1/2*L*I^2=1/2*L*(1/2)^2=1/2*1/4*L=1/8
Because current is already cut in half i.e.,1/2.. But you said that, it is 1/4. How?

Nice and clear solutions.

Formula: W= 1/2 LI^2, inductor values kept same only current's value is cut into half or made half.
Example,
1) 1/2*6*10^2 = 300.
2) 1/2*6*5^2 = 75.
So 75/300 = 1/4 times decreased, that is quartered.

I also agree to a/2 LI^2.

Energy stored is 1/2 L I2.
If I is halved, energy stored gets reduced to 1/4 th.
If I is halved, energy stored gets reduced to 1/4 th.
