Hi,
I'm having a major issue trying to work out where the resultant lorentz force might act when I have a wire coiled around a doughnut (toroid) shape.
Am I right in saying that there will be a resultant lorentz force acting to crush the doughnut because there will be a slightly denser magnetic field on the inside of the doughnut than on the outside?
In addition, am I right in saying that the wire wrapped around the doughnut will be trying to escape from the doughnut in all directions?
I don't know if this is a good enough description of what I am trying to understand, please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks in advance
