The Solenoid and the Toroid
The Solenoid and the Toroid: Overview
This topic deals with magnetic systems. It discusses the solenoid and a toroid with their differences and illustrations. It also explains how to find the field with a rectangular Amperian loop. It also elaborates on the use of right-hand thumb rule.
Important Questions on The Solenoid and the Toroid
A solenoid long and of radius has layers of windings of turns each. A long wire of mass lies inside the solenoid (near its centre) normal to its axis; both the wire and the axis of the solenoid are in the horizontal plane. The wire is connected through two leads parallel to the axis of the solenoid to an external battery which supplies a current of in the wire. What value of current (with an appropriate sense of circulation) in the windings of the solenoid can support the weight of the wire?
