The self-inductance L of a toroid having circular cross-section of radius rr and major radius RR is (r \ll R))

Options

  1. Aμ0N2R2r2\dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 R^2}{r^2}
  2. Bμ0N2R22r\dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 R^2}{2r}
  3. Cμ0N2r2R2\dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 r^2}{R^2}
  4. Dμ0N2r22R\dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 r^2}{2R}

Correct answer

D. μ0N2r22R\dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 r^2}{2R}

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic field inside a toroid of major radius RR is given by B=μ0NI2πRB = \dfrac{\mu_0 N I}{2 \pi R}, assuming r≪Rr \ll R so that the field is approximately uniform across the cross-section.

The cross-sectional area of the toroid is A=πr2A = \pi r^2.

The magnetic flux through a single turn is ϕ=BA=(μ0NI2πR)(πr2)=μ0NIr22R\phi = B A = \left(\dfrac{\mu_0 N I}{2 \pi R}\right) (\pi r^2) = \dfrac{\mu_0 N I r^2}{2 R}.

The total flux linkage for NN turns is Φ=Nϕ=μ0N2Ir22R\Phi = N \phi = \dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 I r^2}{2 R}.

The self-inductance is L=ΦI=μ0N2r22RL = \dfrac{\Phi}{I} = \dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 r^2}{2 R}.

Answer: μ0N2r22R\dfrac{\mu_0 N^2 r^2}{2R}
