How can the magnetic field of a solenoid be increased for a given current?

  • A
    By increasing the number of turns per unit length.
  • B
    By inserting a soft iron core inside the solenoid.
  • C

$A$ long solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field $B$ along its axis. If the number of turns per $cm$ is doubled and the current is made $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{rd}$ of its original value,then the new value of the magnetic field will be:

Assertion : If the current in a solenoid is reversed in direction while keeping the same magnitude,the magnetic field energy stored in the solenoid decreases.
Reason : Magnetic field energy density is proportional to the square of the current.

$A$ closely wound solenoid of $80 \,cm$ long has $5$ layers of windings of $400$ turns each. The diameter of the solenoid is $1.8 \,cm$. If the current carried is $8 \,A$, then the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid near its centre is approximately
