Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field inside a long solenoid is given by:

B=μ0NILB = \dfrac{\mu_0 N I}{L}

where NN is the total number of turns, II is the current, and LL is the length of the solenoid.

The magnetic flux through the cross-section of the solenoid is:

Φ=BA=μ0NIAL\Phi = B A = \dfrac{\mu_0 N I A}{L}

The magnetic moment of a solenoid is given by:

M=NIAM = N I A

Substituting MM into the flux equation, we get:

Φ=μ0ML\Phi = \dfrac{\mu_0 M}{L}

Rearranging to solve for the magnetic moment MM:

M=ΦLμ0M = \dfrac{\Phi L}{\mu_0}

Given values are:
Φ=1.57×10−6 Wb\Phi = 1.57 \times 10^{-6}\ \text{Wb}
L=60 cm=0.6 mL = 60\ \text{cm} = 0.6\ \text{m}
μ0=4π×10−7 T m/A=4×3.14×10−7 T m/A=12.56×10−7 T m/A\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ \text{T m/A} = 4 \times 3.14 \times 10^{-7}\ \text{T m/A} = 12.56 \times 10^{-7}\ \text{T m/A}

Substituting these values into the formula:

M=1.57×10−6×0.612.56×10−7M = \dfrac{1.57 \times 10^{-6} \times 0.6}{12.56 \times 10^{-7}}

M=1.5712.56×0.6×10M = \dfrac{1.57}{12.56} \times 0.6 \times 10

M=18×6=34=0.75 A m2M = \dfrac{1}{8} \times 6 = \dfrac{3}{4} = 0.75\ \text{A m}^2
