Toroid Definition and 68 Threads

The relevant equation listed above as ##\vec{E} \left( \vec{r} \right) = \frac{1}{4 \pi} \int {\nabla’ \times \frac{\partial \vec{B}}{\partial t}}\frac{1}{\left| \vec{r} - \vec{r}’ \right|}\, d \tau’## Seems to me to be a natural consequence of the Helmholtz Theorem so I don’t see why it...

For A.1 of this problem, The solution is However, I have a doubt about the linear charge density ##\lambda##. I don't understand how ##\lambda = \frac {q}{2\pi R} ## since this is not a thin ring, but has a non-negligible width of ##2a## I think that the toroid has a larger area than thin...

Hello, I would like to know what is the magnetic field of a half toroid. Would we use Ampere's law? So, considering that the integral is equal to BA, we would have BA = μo * i, then B = (μo * i) / r. But, using Biot-Savart's law, by symmetry, it seems that the vector sum of all the...

Please be kind to help. How is an electric field formed due to toroidal magnetic field? How does the introduction of a poloidal magnetic field confine the plasma? Please answer in the context of Nuclear Fusion Reactor (tokamak).

Hi, I have a toroid of a soft magnetic material (any). I wind the complete toroid with single turn coils and connect all their terminals in parallel. Then I wind a second layer of single turn coils on the previous layer and so on. I want to calculate the equivalent inductance L. I calculate it...

Why is this equation: B(D - d)/mu + Bd = mu0 N I true? B = magnetic field in the hole of the toroid D = Average diameter of the toroid d = Diameter of hole of toroid mu = relative permeability of iron, or whatever the toroid is made of mu0 = 4pi x 10^-7 N = Number of turns on the toroid I =...

I have a toroid with square cross section and 2 different circuit: ##C_1## where ##N=N_1## and ##I=I_1## ##C_2## where ##N=N_2## and ##I=I_2## I have a question that say I have to find the magnetic field ##B## produce by ##C_1## everywhere inside the coil. I assume here I have to find the...

I know that the problem of magnetic mirrors is that they leak out the tight ends of the mirror, on the other hand the main problem of toroids is that magnetic field line curvature creates a better confinement on the inner diameter and lesser on the outer diameter so needs a strong plasma current...

These are images from the book Introduction to Electrodynamics by David J. Griffiths . . . My problem is that I'm unable to understand how the current has zero ##\phi## component (I have underlined it in the first image)? I do understand cylindrical coordinates, I know...

There are two questions that arose in my mind, first of all tokamaks use toroidal field coils which create a toroidal field within the torus to shape the plasma and confine it, but here is a question, the toroid coils have a static B field produced from a DC current in them, what kind of metal...

Hi, I am going to wind an tapped toroid inductor for a LCR circuit in an equalizer. I have calculated the number of turns I need for each winding. This is my first time winding an inductor so I need to get some things straight. What to do with the 10 kHz tap, should I twist a wire with the 12...

I have found answers on how to calculate the self-inductance of toroid of rectangular cross section, however my question says that "The winding are seen as a thin homogeneous currentlayer around the core" (excuse the translation). What does that mean for N? Does it mean N=1?

I am sure that the vector potential of a toroid isn't 0 even though its magnetic field is , does anyone have a derivation for the its the vector potential at a point P(x,y,z) outside the toroid ? i expect that since its curl is 0 we have a general form of : A = f(!x)ex + g(!y)ey+m(!z)ez Such...

What happens when you apply power to a toroidal solenoid with a iron ring inside? Does the ring move? Does the speed of movement depend on the amount of power? Sorry if this is too easy, I have no education in physic.

In our class we were playing with a toroid shaped object made of foam (Probably). While tossing it around, not only was the disc rotating simply. It was well, sort of vibrating. Like one end of the object is up and the other is down then after a small interval the vice versa occurs. What is the...

Hello all, I am in the process of building a tesla coil and I need a little help. I have everything completed enough that I can start testing it. I plug the coil in and the spark gap fires immediately and continuously, but no arcs come out the toroid. I tried moving the toroid closer to the...

Homework Statement I really think my answer is correct - could someone verify this or let me know where I went wrong? This is problem submitted online, the "correct" answer looks like my teacher accidentally hit the button 3 twice. PROBLEM: The toriod in example 5-1 from the textbook has an...

Hi, I heard it was possible if you symmetrically wind a toroid that you can get near total internal confinement of the magnetic field in the axial plane inside the toroid. How is this possible? I imagine a section of a closed loop of wire on the face of the toroid core, yet I still imagine those...

Radial Distance In class, I measured the field strength of a toroidal coil at various distances. I used a linear track to move the hall probe along the azimuthal field at certain positions. How do i convert the distance into radial distance if the inner conductor is at radius 2.5 cm?

Finding the magnetic field for a straight wire using the right hand rule shows that the field is around the wire. Applying this same concept for a toroid, the magnetic field inside is central to the loop of wires so that makes sense. However, isn't there also a magnetic field outside in a...

It's a simple question: Why is Ienc in Ampere's Law in a toroid equal to µ0NI where N is the number of loops around the toroid? Why is I N times greater when the wire is looped around the toroid? When you take a random wire with current and you change the geometry of the wire into a loop...
