$A$ toroid has a non-ferromagnetic core of inner radius $r_{1}$ and outer radius $r_{2}$,around which $N$ turns of wire are wound. If the current in the wire is $I$,then the magnetic field inside the toroid is ($\mu_{0} =$ permeability of free space).

$A$ coaxial cable consists of an inner wire of radius $a$ surrounded by an outer shell of inner and outer radii $b$ and $c$ respectively. The inner wire carries an electric current $i_o$,which is distributed uniformly across its cross-sectional area. The outer shell carries an equal current in the opposite direction,also distributed uniformly. What will be the ratio of the magnetic field at a distance $x$ from the axis when $(i)$ $x < a$ and $(ii)$ $a < x < b$?
