The toroid of is a coil of wire wrapped around a doughnut-shaped ring (a torus). Toroidal magnetic fields are used to confine fusion plasmas.
a. From symmetry, what must be the shape of the magnetic field in this toroid? Explain.
b. Consider a toroid with N closely spaced turns carrying current I. Use Ampère’s law to find an expression for the magnetic field strength at a point inside the torus at distance r from the axis.
c. Is a toroidal magnetic field a uniform field? Explain.

Magnetic resonance imaging needs a magnetic field strength of . The solenoid is long and in diameter. It is tightly wound with a single layer of diameter superconducting wire. What size current is needed?
