A solenoid with 800 turns per meter carries a current of \( 2.5 \, \text{A} \). What is the magnetic
intensity \( H \) inside?

Explanation

**Magnetic field inside solenoid** with core B = μ₀ μ_r n I is uniform, direction along axis given by right-hand grip rule. For n = 2000 m⁻¹, μ_r = 400, B = 1.2 T, I = 1.2/(4π×10⁻⁷×400×2000) ≈ 1.19 A, showing modest current produces tesla-level field with high μ_r core. Magnetic intensity H = n I . Given: n = 800 m⁻¹ , I = 2.5 A . Substitute: H = 800 × 2.5 = 2000 A m⁻¹ . Substituting values gives 2000 A m⁻¹, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
