A toroid (solenoid bent into a ring) with total turns and mean radius : inside the toroid . Outside (both inside the hole and outside the ring): . Unlike a solenoid, the field varies within the cross-section (). For a thin toroid (), is approximately uniform. The field inside the empty space enclosed by the toroid is zero — this is a common trap.
