This page explains how to use Ampere's Law to solve for the magnetic field of a toroid.
Magnetic Field of a Toroid using Ampere's Law
Using Ampere's Law simplifies finding the magnetic field of a toroid.
Geometry of a Toroid
A toroid is essentially a solenoid whose ends meet. It is shaped like a doughnut (the base shape does not need to be a circle; it can be a triangle, square, quadrilateral, etc.), is symmetrical around an axis of rotation, and contains N loops around a closed, circular path with a radius of r inside of its loop.
