Question
In what respect is a toroid different from a solenoid?

Solution
Toroid
• It is a hollow circular ring on which a large number of turns of a wire are closely wound.
• Three Amperian loops (1, 2, and 3) are shown by dotted lines.
• Magnetic field along loop 1 is zero because the loop encloses no current.
• Magnetic field along loop 3 is zero because the current coming out of the paper is cancelled exactly by the current going out of it.
• Magnetic field at S (along loop 2):
From Ampere’s law,
∴B (2πr) = μ0NI
Where,
B → Magnetic field
r → Radius
I → Current
N → Number of turns of toroidal coil
`therefore B=(mu_0NI)/(2pir)`
