A) $\frac{\mu_{0}n^{2}h}{2 \pi}ln\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$

B) $\frac{\mu_{0}n^{}h}{2 \pi}ln\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$

C) $\frac{\mu_{0}n^{2}h}{2 \pi}ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)$

D) $\frac{\mu_{0}n^{}h}{2 \pi}ln\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)$

Option A

### Explanation:

Given, a toroid with a rectangular cross-section of inner radius a  and outer radius b.

Height of the solenoid=h

Magnetic field inside a rectangular toroid is given by

$B=\frac{\mu_{0}n^{}I}{2 \pi r}$   ................(i)

Using the infinitesimal cross-sectional area element,

dx=h dr

$\therefore$    Flux passing through  the cross-section of toroid

$\phi=\int B.dx =\int_{a}^{b} \frac{\mu_{0}n^{}I}{2 \pi r}.(h dr)$

$\phi= \frac{\mu_{0}n^{}Ih}{2 \pi }\int_{a}^{b} \frac{1}{r}. dr$

$\Rightarrow$       $\phi= \frac{\mu_{0}n^{}Ih}{2 \pi }[\log r]_{a}^{b}$

$\Rightarrow$       $\phi= \frac{\mu_{0}n^{}Ih}{2 \pi } (\log b-\log a)$

$\phi= \frac{\mu_{0}n^{}Ih}{2 \pi }ln\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$

Now, self inductance  of rectangular toroid.

$L= \frac{n \phi}{I}$

Putting  the value  of $\phi_{}$ , we get

L=  $\frac{\mu_{0}n^{2}h}{2 \pi}ln\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$
