A rectangular toroid and a cylindrical solenoid have equal cross-sectional areas, equal inductances, the same number of total turns, and the length of the solenoid is the same as the average circumference of the toroid. What is the ratio of the outer radius to the inner radius of the toroid? Hint: the inductance of a rectangular toroid with outer and inner radii π
