Correct.

Wrong. Affairs can be "torrid", but ferrous powders are
made into toroids, most of which are too small in diameter
for torrid affairs.

Nit:
torrid. n. 1) parched with the heat of the sun.
2) scorching, burning.
3) passionate/ardent.

While _probably_ *not* what the O.P. "intended", I will suggest that
def. #2 could be applicable to a high-intensity, VHF, magnetic field.
