Option: 2  0.5 x 102 Am2
Option: 3  50 x 102 Am2
Option: 4  5 x 102 Am2

Correct Answer: c) 50 \times 10^{2}Am^{2}

\begin{aligned} &\text { Here, } n=10 \text { turns } / \mathrm{cm}=1000 \text { turns } / \mathrm{m}\\ &V=10^{-3} m^{3}, \mu_{r}=1000, i=0 \cdot 5 A\\ &\text { We know that } B=\mu_{0}(H+I)\\ &, I=\frac{B}{\mu_{0}}-H=\frac{\mu H}{\mu_{0}}-H\\ &=\mu_{r} H-H=\left(\mu_{r}-1\right) H \end{aligned}

\\ \text{For a solenoid of n turns per unit length carrying current i,} H=n i . \\ \quad \therefore I=\left(\mu_{r}-1\right) n i$ \\ $I=(1000-1) \times 1000 \times 0 \cdot 5$ \\ $I= 5 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{Am}^{-1}$ \\ As magnetic moment, $M=I \times V$ \\ $\therefore M= 5 \times 10^{5} \times 10^{-3}=500 \mathrm{Am}^{2}

5 \times 10^2 A-m^2
