### Problem Statement

If the current \( i(t) = 6t \, \text{A/s} \) flows through a \( 9 \, \text{H} \) inductor, find the current flowing and the energy stored at \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \).

### Solution

1. **Current Calculation**

   To find the current \( I \) at \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \):

   \( I = i(t) = 6t \)

   Substitute \( t = 2 \):

   \( I = 6 \times 2 = 12 \, \text{A} \)

   **Current =** \[ \boxed{12} \] A

2. **Energy Stored Calculation**

   The energy \( W \) stored in an inductor is given by:

   \[
   W = \frac{1}{2} L I^2
   \]

   Where \( L = 9 \, \text{H} \) and \( I = 12 \, \text{A} \).

   \[
   W = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times (12)^2
   \]

   \[
   W = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 144
   \]

   \[
   W = \frac{1}{2} \times 1296
   \]

   \[
   W = 648 \, \text{J}
   \]

   **Energy =** \[ \boxed{648} \] J

This educational content guides students to calculate the current and energy stored in an inductor for a given time, using provided formulas.
