Options:
  • A $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2 \pi\left(r_1+r_2\right)}$
  • B $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{\pi\left(r_1+r_2\right)}$
  • C $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{2 \pi\left(r_2-r_1\right)}$
  • D $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{\pi\left(r_2-r_1\right)}$

The correct answer is: $\frac{\mu_0 N I}{\pi\left(r_1+r_2\right)}$

Considering Ampearian loop at the centre of toroid:
$\int \overrightarrow{B . d l}=\mu_0 N I$
Since, $B$ has radial symmetry $\&$ angle between $B \& d l$ is zero
$\begin{aligned} & \therefore B \int d l=B 2 \pi\left\{\frac{r_1+r_2}{2}\right\}=\mu_0 N I \\ & \Rightarrow B=\left[\frac{\mu_0 N I}{\pi\left(r_1+r_2\right)}\right]\end{aligned}$
