Energy Stored in Magnetic Field of Solenoid
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
The magnetic field inside an air-filled solenoid 39.9cm long and 2.00cm in diameter is 0.800T. Approximately how much energy is stored in this field? 2. Relevant equations U=(1/2)LI^2 => U = (1/2)(B^2)(area*length)/(u) 3. The attempt at a solution I discovered how to derive the bottom equation from the top equation from http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...indeng.html#c2 The derivation on the site seems to make sense, but when I try to use the bottom equation I get: U = (1/2)(0.8^2)(Pi*0.01^2)*(0.399)/(8.85*10^-7) = 45.324 J What am I missing here? Thanks, x^2 |

Check the value you use for permeability.
