Toroidal inductors and transformers are inductors and transformers which use magnetic cores with a toroidal (ring or donut) shape. They are passive electronic components , consisting of a circular ring or donut shaped magnetic core of ferromagnetic material such as laminated iron , iron powder, or ferrite , around which wire is wound.
Cores can also be classified by shape, such as toroidal, shell, or cylindrical cores. The ferrite cores used for power transformers work in the low-frequency range (1 to 200 kHz usually [ 2 ] ) and are relatively large in size, can be toroidal, shell, or shaped like the letters 'C', 'D', or 'E'.

Toroidal powder cores are used in the development of a subgroup of microelectronics known as inductors, transformers and electronic filters. An MPP core possesses many positive magnetic qualities which makes it more optimal to use in the creation of such devices.
In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating currents (AC) while passing direct current (DC) and lower-frequency ACs in a circuit. A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core , although some consist of a doughnut-shaped ferrite bead strung on a wire.
In this context a toroid need not be circular and may have any number of holes. A g-holed toroid can be seen as approximating the surface of a torus having a topological genus, g, of 1 or greater. The Euler characteristic χ of a g holed toroid is 2(1-g). [2] The torus is an example of a toroid, which is the surface of a doughnut.
Toroidal geometry can help to lessen the external magnetic forces and therefore reduces the size of mechanical support needed. Also, due to the low external magnetic field, toroidal SMES can be located near a utility or customer load. For small SMES, solenoids are usually used because they are easy to coil and no pre-compression is needed.
A Rogowski coil is a toroid of wire used to measure an alternating current I(t) through a cable encircled by the toroid. The picture shows a Rogowski coil encircling a current-carrying cable.
