Answer

a) ${\bf 1.25}\;\rm MJ $ b) ${\bf 4\times 10^4}\;\rm turn $

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ We know that the magnetic energy density is given by $$u_B=\dfrac{B^2}{2\mu_0}\tag 1$$ where the energy stored is then given by $$U=u_BV_{\rm solenoid}$$ where $V$ is the volume of the solenoid and is given by $V=\pi r^2l$ $$U=\pi r^2lu_B $$ Plug from (1), $$U= \dfrac{\pi r^2 lB^2}{2\mu_0}$$ Plug the known; $$U= \dfrac{\pi (0.20)^2 (1)(5)^2}{2(4\pi\times 10^{-7})}$$ $$U= \color{red}{\bf 1.25}\;\rm MJ $$ $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ We know that the magnetic field strength at the center of a solenoid is given by $$B=\dfrac{\mu_0 NI}{l}$$ Solving for $N$; $$N=\dfrac{lB}{\mu_0 I}$$ Plug the known; $$N=\dfrac{(1)(5)}{(4\pi\times 10^{-7})(100)}$$ $$N=\color{red}{\bf 4\times 10^4}\;\rm turn $$
