### Solenoid Coil Turn Calculation

A cylindrical solenoid that is 40 cm long generates a uniform magnetic field of strength 1.4 T inside the solenoid when the current is 7.0 A. How many turns of a single coil are present in this solenoid?

- a. 40,000 turns
- b. 64,000 turns
- c. 56,000 turns
- d. 48,000 turns
- e. 32,000 turns

#### Explanation:
This problem involves finding the number of coil turns in a solenoid given its magnetic field strength, length, and current. The number of turns can be calculated using the formula for the magnetic field in a solenoid: 

\[ B = \mu_0 \times \left( \frac{N}{L} \right) \times I \]

Where:
- \( B \) is the magnetic field (1.4 T),
- \(\mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space (\(4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T}\cdot\text{m/A}\)),
- \( N \) is the number of turns,
- \( L \) is the length of the solenoid (0.4 m),
- \( I \) is the current (7.0 A). 

Solve for \( N \).
