The magnetic field inside a toroidal solenoid with N total turns, mean radius r, carrying current I is
- μ₀NI
- μ₀NI/(2πr)
- 2πr·μ₀NI
- μ₀NI/r
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. μ₀NI/(2πr)
1. Use Ampere's law along a circular path of radius r inside the toroid.
2. By symmetry, B is tangential: ∮B·dl = B·(2πr).
3. The enclosed current is NI.
4. Therefore B = μ₀NI/(2πr).
