Correct answer: A

  1. Magnetic energy density in a medium

The magnetic energy density is

u=12BHu = \frac{1}{2}BHu=21​BH

For a linear magnetic medium,

B=μH=μ0μrHB = \mu H = \mu_0 \mu_r HB=μH=μ0​μr​H

So,

H=Bμ=Bμ0μrH = \frac{B}{\mu} = \frac{B}{\mu_0 \mu_r}H=μB​=μ0​μr​B​

Hence,

u=12B(Bμ0μr)=B22μ0μru = \frac{1}{2}B\left(\frac{B}{\mu_0 \mu_r}\right)=\frac{B^2}{2\mu_0\mu_r}u=21​B(μ0​μr​B​)=2μ0​μr​B2​

  1. Given relative permeability

Here,

μr=2\mu_r = 2μr​=2

Therefore,

u=B22μ0⋅2=B24μ0u = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_0 \cdot 2} = \frac{B^2}{4\mu_0}u=2μ0​⋅2B2​=4μ0​B2​

  1. Total energy stored in the solenoid

Volume of the solenoid is

V=AlV = A lV=Al

So total magnetic energy stored is

U=uV=B24μ0⋅AlU = uV = \frac{B^2}{4\mu_0} \cdot AlU=uV=4μ0​B2​⋅Al

Thus,

U=B2Al4μ0U = \frac{B^2 A l}{4\mu_0}U=4μ0​B2Al​

  1. Matching with options

This corresponds to:

Option A:

B2Al4μ0\frac{B^2 A l}{4\mu_0}4μ0​B2Al​
