1. An air-core solenoid with 57 turns is 4.96 cm
long and has a diameter of 1.46 cm.
The permitivity of free space is 4×10−7 T·
m/A.
How much energy is stored in its magnetic
field when it carries a current of 0.634 A ?
Answer in units of μJ.
2.
B = mu-o (I) (N)/ L
Induction= mu-0 (N^2/l) A
U= (1/2) Induction (I ^2)

3. First I calculated Induction= 4pie-7 ( 57turns ^2/ .0496m) (pi(.0146^2))= 1.3785e-5

Then I used U = (1/2) induction (0.634 A ^2)= 2.7355μJ

I am on the wrong path? I thought of calculating the magentic field as well
using my first eqaution= 9.09795 e-4 T but I couldn't find the correct eqaution/ relationship to calculate the energy stored. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
