An air-cored solenoid with length $30 \; cm$,area of cross-section $25 \; cm^{2}$ and number of turns $500$,carries a current of $2.5 \; A$. The current is suddenly switched off in a brief time of $10^{-3} \; s$. How much is the average back $emf$ induced (in $V$) across the ends of the open switch in the circuit? Ignore the variation in magnetic field near the ends of the solenoid.

  • A
    $2.5$
  • B
    $6.5$
  • C
    $9.2$
  • D
    $11.6$
