An air-cored solenoid with length 30 cm, area of cross-section 25 cm2 and number of turns 800, carries a current of 2.5 A. The current is suddenly switched off in a brief time of 10-3s. Ignoring the variation in magnetic field near the ends of the solenoid, the average back emf induced across the ends of the open switch in the circuit would be
