This video tutorial explains how to calculate the magnetic field produced by a toroidal solenoid. It begins with an introduction to the toroidal solenoid, describing its structure and purpose. The video then focuses on determining the direction of the magnetic field using the right-hand rule, comparing it to the magnetic field of a long straight wire. Finally, the tutorial derives the formula for calculating the magnitude of the magnetic field using Ampere's Law, providing a step-by-step example with specific values to illustrate the process.
