SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the magnetic field inside a toroid using Ampere's Law, specifically for a toroid with 850 turns, an inner radius of 3.00 cm, and an outer radius of 7.00 cm. The formula derived is B = μ₀ * N * I / (2 * π * R), where R is the radius at which the magnetic field is being calculated. The inner and outer radii help define the toroidal coil's geometry but do not directly affect the magnetic field calculation, as the radius R can be any value between the two. The final expression for the magnetic field is confirmed as μ₀ * 850 * I / (2 * π * R).
