SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic flux in a toroidal coil of wire. The magnetic field strength is expressed as B = (μ.N.I) / (2π.r), where μ is the permeability constant, N is the number of turns, I is the current, and r is the radius. The flux through the coil is calculated using the formula u.N.I.(b - a).h.N / (2π.r), but the user encounters confusion regarding the correct interpretation of the area involved in the flux calculation. Clarification is sought on whether the flux refers to the area encompassed by the coil or the area of the wire itself.
