An air-filled toroidal solenoid has a mean radius of 14.5 and a cross-sectional area of 4.96 (see the figure). The current flowing through it is 11.5 , and it is desired that the energy stored within the solenoid be at least 0.392 .(Figure 1)

Explanation / Answer
Magnetic field of a toroid with N turns of wire, mean radius R, and current I is given by:
B(toroid) = ?NI/2?R
Magnetic energy stored by such a toroid is given by:
E =
