Q: In a toroidal solenoid, what is the magnetic field inside the toroid?
Solution: The magnetic field inside a toroidal solenoid is given by B = μ₀nI.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand what a toroidal solenoid is. It is a coil of wire shaped like a donut (torus).
Step 2: Identify the key components that affect the magnetic field: μ₀ (the permeability of free space), n (the number of turns of wire per unit length), and I (the current flowing through the wire).
Step 3: Know the formula for the magnetic field inside the toroid: B = μ₀nI.
Step 4: Recognize that 'B' represents the magnetic field strength inside the toroid.
Step 5: Remember that the magnetic field is uniform inside the toroid and depends on the current and the number of turns.
