Moving Charges And Magnetism

Question
CBSEENPH12037675

Magnetic field lines can be entirely confined within the core of a toroid, but not within a straight solenoid. Why?

Solution

Toroid is a circular ring having no ends. Hence, the magnetic field lines form continuous loops and there is no flux leakage. But, in a straight solenoid there is a leakage of flux across the ends.
