Magnetic Field A field produced by electric currents, influencing the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity. Toroidal Solenoid A coil shaped like a donut with wire wrapped around it, creating a magnetic field along its center. Solenoid A long coil of wire that generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it. Current The flow of electric charge, typically measured in amperes, that generates a magnetic field in a solenoid. Inner Radius The distance from the center of a toroidal solenoid to its innermost edge, denoted as R1. Outer Radius The distance from the center of a toroidal solenoid to its outermost edge, denoted as R2. Mean Radius The average of the inner and outer radii of a toroidal solenoid, calculated as (R1 + R2) / 2. Clockwise A direction of current flow or magnetic field orientation that follows the motion of a clock's hands. Counterclockwise A direction of current flow or magnetic field orientation opposite to the motion of a clock's hands. Turns The number of loops or coils of wire in a solenoid, affecting the strength of the magnetic field. Mu Naught (μ₀) The permeability of free space, a constant used in calculating magnetic fields, approximately 4π x 10⁻⁷ T·m/A. Tesla The unit of magnetic field strength in the International System of Units (SI). Distance The measurement from the center of a toroidal solenoid to a point where the magnetic field is evaluated. Equation A mathematical expression used to calculate the magnetic field in a toroidal solenoid: μ₀IN/2πr. Battery A device that provides the electric current necessary to generate a magnetic field in a solenoid.
