Question: A toroid is like a solenoid that has been bent around in a circle until its ends meet. The field lines are circular, as shown

A toroid is like a solenoid that has been bent around in a circle until its ends meet. The field lines are circular, as shown in the figure. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field inside a toroid of N turns carrying current I? Apply Ampère's law, following a field line at a distance r from the center of the toroid. Work in terms of the total number of turns N, rather than the number of turns per unit length (why?). Is the field uniform, as it is for a long solenoid? Explain.
