    Shape Toroid
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the magnetic field inside a toroidal coil using Ampere's Law. The user is tasked with proving that the magnetic field at a radius r from the center is B = uNI/2πr, where u represents permittivity. They acknowledge that Ampere's Law states the integral of the magnetic field around a closed path equals the permittivity times the enclosed current. The key step involves creating a closed path within the toroid that loops around the axis at a fixed distance, where the enclosed current is NI. The user seeks clarification on how to connect these concepts to arrive at the desired formula.

I have a difficult probelm to solve:

There is a dougnut shape (toroidal coil) with N turns of wire wrapped around it. Current I flows in the wire. THe cross section of the 'doughnut' is square with height h. I am meant to use ampere's law to prove that the magnetic field at a radius r from the centre (half way through the coil) is given by:

B = uNI/2pi*r (u = permittivity)

SO far I have that ampere's law says that the integral around a closed path of the Magnetic field is equal to the permittivity times the current enclosed. How does this translate into the above formula? I am probably just missing something really obvious. :confused:

All you have to do is create a closed path within the toroid that loops around the axis at a fixed distance. You can see that the current passing through the loop you just created is NI.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
