उत्तर

A toroid is a hollow circular ring on which a large number of turns of a wire are closely wound. Consider an air-cored toroid (as shown above) with centre O.
Given:
r = Average radius of the toroid
I = Current through the solenoid
n = Number of turns per unit length
To determine the magnetic field inside the toroid, we consider three amperian loops (loop 1, loop 2 and loop 3) as show in the figure below.

For loop 1:
According to Ampere's circuital law, we have
`ointvecB.vec(dl)=mu_0(`
Total current for loop 1 is zero because no current is passing through this loop.
So, for loop 1
`oint.vecB.vec(dl)=0`
For loop 3:
According to Ampere's circuital law, we have
`ointvecB.vec(dl)=mu_0(`
Total current for loop 3 is zero because net current coming out of this loop is equal to the net current going inside the loop.
For loop 2:
The total current flowing through the toroid is NI, where N is the total number of turns.
`ointvecB.vec(dl)=mu_0(NI)`
Now, `vecB `
`ointvecB.vec(dl)=Bointdl`
`=>ointvecB.vec(dl)=B(2pir)`
Comparing (i) and (ii), we get
B(2πr)=μ0NI
`=>B=(mu_0NI)/(2pir)`
Number of turns per unit length is given by
`n=N(2pir)`
∴B=μ0nI
This is the expression for magnetic field inside air-cored toroid.

Two long coaxial insulated solenoids, S1 and S2 of equal lengths are wound one over the other as shown in the figure.

A tightly-wound solenoid of radius a and length l has n turns per unit length. It carries an electric current i. Consider a length dx of the solenoid at a distance x from one end. This contains n dx turns and may be approximated as a circular current i n dx. (a) Write the magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid due to this circular current. Integrate this expression under proper limits to find the magnetic field at the centre of the solenoid. (b) verify that if l >> a, the field tends to B = µ0ni and if a >> l, the field tends to `B =(mu_0nil)/(2a)` . Interpret these results.
