A 1000-turn toroid has a central radius of 4.2 cm and is carrying a current of 1.7 A. The magnitude of the magnetic field along the central radius is

0.0081T

Explanation:

The magnetic field B in the toroid is proportional to the applied current I and the number of turns N per unit length L of the toroid. i.e

B ∝ I

B = μ₀ I                   ----------------(i)

Where;

μ₀ = constant of proportionality called the magnetic constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷N/A²

Since the radius (r = 4.2cm = 0.042m) of the toroid is given, the length L is the circumference of the toroid given by

L = 2π r

L = 2π (0.042)

L = 0.084π

The number of turns N = 1000

The current in the toroid = 1.7A

Substitute these values into equation (i) to get the magnetic field as follows;

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x  1.7 x          [cancel out the πs and solve]

B = 0.0081T

The magnetic field along the central radius is 0.0081T

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
