Question
Magnetic field lines can be entirely confined within the core of a toroid, but not within a straight solenoid Why?

Solution
- The magnetic field around the toroid consists of concentric circular lines of force around it. Thus, the magnetic field in the interior of the toroid is tangential to each loop.
- Whereas, the magnetic field produced by a solenoid is similar to the magnetic field of a bar magnet. One end of the solenoid coil acts as a south pole and the other end acts as the north pole with the field lines inside the solenoid remaining parallel. Thus, the magnetic field B is parallel to the axis of the solenoid.
As a result, magnetic field lines can be entirely confined within the core of a toroid, but not within a straight solenoid.
