    The magnetic flux near the axis and inside the air core solenoid of length 80 cm carrying current 'I' is 1.57×10−61.57 \times 10^{-6} Wb. Its magnetic moment will be [cross-sectional area of a solenoid is very small as compared to its length, μ0=4π×10−7\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} SI unit] (π=3.14\pi = 3.14)

    The magnetic flux near the axis and inside the air core solenoid of length 60 cm carrying current I is π2×10−6\dfrac{\pi}{2} \times 10^{-6} Wb. Its magnetic moment will be (cross-sectional area is very small as compared to length of solenoid, μ0\mu_0 = Permeability of free space = 4π×10−74\pi \times 10^{-7} SI unit)
