    The magnitude of magnetic induction for a current carrying toroid of uniform cross-section is

    A)  uniform over the whole cross-section

    B)  maximum onthe outer edge

    C)  maximum on the outer edge.

    D)  maximum at the centre of cross-section

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    A toroid can be considered as a ring shaped closed solenoid. Hence, it is like an endless cylindrical solenoid. Consider a toroid having n turns per unit length. Magnetic field at a point P in the figure is given as \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}NI}{2\pi r}={{\mu }_{0}}nI,\] where \[n=\frac{N}{2\pi r}.\] Hence the magnitude of magnetic induction for a current  carrying toroid of uniform cross-section is uniform over the whole cross-section.
