The correct answer is:
$9.6 \mathrm{mT}, 7.68 \mathrm{mT}$
Given, inner radius, $r_1=20 \mathrm{~cm}=0.2 \mathrm{~m}$
Outer radius, $r_2=25 \mathrm{~cm}=0.25 \mathrm{~m}$
Number of turns, $N=800$
Current in the toroid, $I=12 \mathrm{~A}$
Magnetic field due to $N$ circular rings (toroid),
$$
B=\frac{\mu \cdot N I}{2 \pi r}
$$
Magnetic field is maximum at $r_{\min }=0.2 \mathrm{~m}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
B_{\max } & =\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 800 \times 12}{2 \pi(0.2)}=9.6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~T} \\
& =9.6 \mathrm{mT}
\end{aligned}
$$
Magnetic field is minimum at $r_{\max }=0.25 \mathrm{~m}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
B_{\min } & =\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 800 \times 12}{2 \pi \times(0.25)}=7.68 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~T} \\
& =7.68 \mathrm{mT}
\end{aligned}
$$
So, the maximum value of magnetic field within the toroid is $9.6 \mathrm{mT}$ and minimum value of magnetic field within the toroid is $7.68 \mathrm{mT}$.
Outer radius, $r_2=25 \mathrm{~cm}=0.25 \mathrm{~m}$
Number of turns, $N=800$
Current in the toroid, $I=12 \mathrm{~A}$
Magnetic field due to $N$ circular rings (toroid),
$$
B=\frac{\mu \cdot N I}{2 \pi r}

Magnetic field is maximum at $r_{\min }=0.2 \mathrm{~m}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
B_{\max } & =\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 800 \times 12}{2 \pi(0.2)}=9.6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~T} \\
& =9.6 \mathrm{mT}
\end{aligned}
$$
Magnetic field is minimum at $r_{\max }=0.25 \mathrm{~m}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
B_{\min } & =\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 800 \times 12}{2 \pi \times(0.25)}=7.68 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~T} \\
& =7.68 \mathrm{mT}
\end{aligned}
$$
So, the maximum value of magnetic field within the toroid is $9.6 \mathrm{mT}$ and minimum value of magnetic field within the toroid is $7.68 \mathrm{mT}$.
