Suppose you wish to make a solenoid whose self-inductance is 1.2 mH. The inductor is to have a cross-sectional area of 1.2 10-3 m2 and a length of 0.048 m. How many turns of wire are needed?

L= mu*N^2*A/l
you have everything, assume air core for mu, and solve for N
Please tell me where I am going wrong!
l = length of solenoid 0.048m
A = Cross-sectional area 0.0012m^2
n = Number of turns ?
L = self inductance 0.0012H
Mu= 0.000001257H/m
L = (Mu)(n^2)(A) / l
then I solve for n:
(L x l)/(Mu x A)= n^2
(0.0012H/m)(0.048m) / (0.00000125H x (0.0012m^2) = n^2
0.0000576/0.000000002= n^2
28800 = n^2
169.70563 = n

Put your numbers in scientific notation. In the denominator, you are losing accuracy due to digits being terminated.
1,25E-6x1.2E-3=1.5E-9, and you got 2E-9
Big difference.
I get about 197 turns
