Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 3.2 \pi \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, number of turns \( =40 \) turns per \( \mathrm{cm} \); current \( =1 \mathrm{~A} \)
Therefore, magnetic energy stored per unit volume \( =\frac{1}{2} \mu_{0} n^{2} I^{2} \)
\(=\frac{1}{2} \times\left(4 \Pi \times 10^{-7}\right) \times\left(40 \times 10^{2}\right)^{2} \times(1)^{2}\)
\(=\frac{4 \times 4 \times 4 \times_{\Pi} \times 10^{-7} \times 10^{5}}{2}\)
\(=32 \times \Pi \times 10^{-1}=3.2 \Pi\)
Thus, magnetic energy stored per unit volume \( =3.2 \mathrm{IJ} \mathrm{m}^{-3} \)
