A toroid of n turns, mean radius R and cross-sectional radius a carries current I. It is placed on a horizontal table taken as XY-plane. Its magnetic moment m
A
is non-zero and points in the z-direction by symmetry
B
points along the axis of the toroid ( 
)
) C
is zero, otherwise there would be a field falling as 
at large distances outside the toroid
at large distances outside the toroid D
is pointing radially outwards
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
In case of toroid, the magnetic field is only confined inside the body of toroid in the form of concentric magnetic lines of force and there is no magnetic field outside the body of toroid. This is because, the loop encloses no current. Thus, the magnetic moment of toroid is zero.
In general, if we take r as a large distance outside the toroid, then 
.
