Detailed Solution

The length of solenoid, l = 80cm = 0.8m

The total number of turns, N = 400 × 5 = = 2000 and number of turns / length, $n = \frac{2000}{0 .8} = 2500$

The magnitude of magnetic field inside the solenoid

$B = μ_{0} nl \sin ϕ = 4 \times 3 .14 \times 10^{- 7} \times 2500 \times 8 \times 1 [A s \sin ϕ ≃ 1]$ $= 2.5 \times 10^{- 2} T$
