Question
A flat, 181 ‑turn, current‑carrying loop is immersed in a uniform magnetic field. The area of the loop is 4.97 cm2 and the angle between its magnetic dipole moment and the field is 30.1∘. Find the strength B of the magnetic field that causes a torque of 1.51×10−5 N⋅m to act on the loop when a current of 2.47 mA flows in it

Answer:
B = 0.135T
Explanation:
To find the magnitude of the magnetic field you use the following formula, for the torque produced by a magnetic field B in a loop:
τ: torque = 1.51*10^-5 Nm
I: current = 2.47mA = 2.47*10^-3 A
B: magnitude of the magnetic field
A: area of the loop = 4.97cm^2 = 4.97(10^-2m)^2=4.97*10^-4m^2
N: turns = 181
θ: angle between B and the magnetic dipole (same as the direction of the normal to the plane)
You replace the values of the parameters in (1). Furthermore you do B the subject of the formula:
