The magnetic intensity H is defined as the product of the number of turns per unit length in a coil n and the current that it carriesI.
The magnetic field of a solenoid is given by B=μ0ni
H=μ0B=μ0μ0ni⇒H=ni...(i)
The given data is
H=1.6×103Am−1
n=8 per cm
Substituting the values in equation (i)
⇒1.6×1000=10018×i
⇒i=2A
