Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 0.628 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m} 3 \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic field inside a toroid
\(\mathrm{B}=\mu_{o} \mathrm{nl}\)
Magnetic energy density inside the toroid is
\(u_{o}=\frac{B^{2}}{2 \mu_{o}}=\frac{\mu_{o}^{2} n^{2} I^{2}}{2 \mu_{o}}=\frac{\mu_{o} n^{2} I^{2}}{2}\)
\(=\frac{4 \Pi \times 10^{-7} \times(500)^{2} \times 2^{2}}{2}=0.628 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\)
