A toroid is a solenoid-like coil bent into a circle (Fig. 26.52a). Toroids are the configuration of choice in magnetic-confinement nuclear fusion experiments, which, if successful, could provide us with an almost unlimited energy source using deuterium fuel extracted from seawater.
The ITER consortium, an international collaboration, is building a large toroidal fusion experiment in France; it’s expected to be the first fusion device to produce energy on a large scale. Figure 26.52b shows a cross section of a toroid, with current emerging from the page at the inner edge and descending at the outer edge. The black circle is an Ampèrian loop.
