SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the magnetic field strength (H) in a toroidal coil with a rectangular cross-section, consisting of N turns carrying a current I. The core material's magnetic permeability (\u) varies with the angle theta, defined as \u0=(1+k cos(theta))\u. The participants conclude that while the magnetic field B is dependent on the variable permeability and radius, the magnetic field strength H can be simplified to H=(I*N)/(2*π*r), indicating that H is independent of the core material's properties.
