"What's the difference between an electrical and magnetic field?" ...

I'm not really sure ... someone else brought up this distinction. :-))

But if you think about it, it's (electrical) current which is travelling along the wire which makes up the toroid ... and this current generates the magnetic field around the toroid.

So it looks like, to me, that the magnetic field surrounds the donut of the coil (so a cross-section of the toroid would show two metal cores - 'X' inches apart - with a circle of magnetic field surrounding each core) ... whereas the electrical field surrounds each wire?

Regards,

Andy
