Area of solenoid is calculated as,

A=\pi r^{2}=\pi\times\left({\frac{4\times10^{-2}}{2}}\right)^{2}=1.26\times10^{-3}\,\mathrm{m}^{2}        (5.176)

The inductance is,

L={\frac{N^{2}\mu A}{l}}={\frac{600^{2}\times4\pi\times10^{-7}\times1\times1.26\times10^{-3}}{0.2}}=2.85~{\mathrm{mH}}        (5.177)

The energy stored is calculated as,

w={\frac{1}{2}}L{i}^{2}={\frac{1}{2}}\times2.85\times10^{-3}\times4^{2}=22.8~{\mathrm{mJ}}        (5.178)
