Correct answer is (2)
In a solenoid, the magnetic field intensity () is given by the product of the number of turns per unit length () and the current () flowing through the solenoid. This can be represented mathematically as:
This is actually derived from Ampere's law applied to the special case of a solenoid, where the magnetic field is uniform and directed along the axis of the solenoid.
If we rearrange this equation to solve for the current (), we get:
In this problem, we're given that the magnetic field intensity () at the center of the solenoid is and the number of turns per unit length () is 8 per cm (which is equal to per meter, as there are 100 cm in a meter).
Substituting these values into the equation gives:
So, the current flowing through the solenoid is .
