Correct Answer: 2
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Use the formula for magnetic intensity - Magnetic intensity is given by: \[ H = n I, \] where \(n\) is the number of turns per meter and \(I\) is the current. Given: \[ H = 1.6 \times 10^3 \, \text{A/m}, \, n = 8 \, \text{turns/cm} = 800 \, \text{turns/m}. \]
Step 2: Solve for the current - \[ I = \frac{H}{n} = \frac{1.6 \times 10^3}{800}. \] Simplifying: \[ I = 2 \, \text{A}. \]
Final Answer: The current flowing through the solenoid is 2 A.
