 Solution

For a long air-cored solenoid, Ampère's law applied to a rectangular loop running inside and outside the winding gives $B\ell \simeq {\mu }_{0}NI$, with the external magnetic field negligible away from the ends. Hence $B={\mu }_{0}nI$ along the winding axis, where $n=N/\ell$. Each turn links magnetic flux $BA$ with $A=\pi a^2$, so the total magnetic flux linkage is $NBA=LI$. It follows thatHere $n=2000{\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$, $a=0.010\mathrm{m}$ and $\ell =0.50\mathrm{m}$, so $N=1000$ andThe value uses the stated long-solenoid approximation and ignores end corrections and winding resistance.
