Problem

Find the energy stored in a section of length ll of a long solenoid (radius RR, current II, nn turns per unit length), (a) using Eq. 7.30 (you found LL in Prob. 7.24); (b) using Eq. 7.31 (we worked out A\mathbf{A} in Ex. 5.12); (c) using Eq. 7.35; (d) using Eq. 7.34 (take as your volume the cylindrical tube from radius a<Ra < R out to radius b>Rb > R).
