Practice question

**Magnetization M** is magnetic moment per unit volume (A/m), magnetic intensity H = B/μ₀ - M, susceptibility χ = M/H dimensionless, permeability μ = B/H = μ₀(1+χ), relative permeability μ_r = μ/μ₀ = 1+χ. For solenoid with core, B = μ₀ μ_r n I, n turns per meter (m⁻¹), I current (A). U_m = -m B cosθ . Given: m = 0.5 A m² , B = 0.3 T , θ = 0° , cos 0° = 1 . Substitute: U_m = -0.5 × 0.3 × 1 = -0.15 J . Substituting values gives -0.15 J, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming
