Governing Mathematical Formula:
Volume = 2π² · R · r² | Surface Area = 4π² · R · r

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Pappus's First Centroid Theorem (Volume)

Volume equals cross-sectional area multiplied by the distance traveled by its geometric centroid: Area_circle = πr². Centroid path = 2πR. Therefore: V = (πr²) · (2πR) = 2π² · R · r².

2
Pappus's Second Centroid Theorem (Surface Area)

Surface area equals perimeter of cross-section multiplied by distance traveled by its centroid: Perimeter = 2πr. Centroid path = 2πR. Therefore: A = (2πr) · (2πR) = 4π² · R · r.

3
Ring Torus Geometric Condition

When R > r, the torus forms a standard ring torus with an open central aperture; when R = r, it forms a horn torus touching at the origin; when R < r, it is a spindle torus self-intersecting internally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the genus of a torus in topology? +
In topology, a torus has genus 1 (possessing exactly one through-hole). It is topologically distinct from a sphere (genus 0) and cannot be continuously deformed into a sphere without cutting.
Why are nuclear fusion reactors (tokamaks) shaped like a torus? +
A torus has no boundaries or ends, allowing strong magnetic field lines to twist continuously without leaky end-caps, stably confining ultra-hot hydrogen plasma.
