This is really just a matter of curiosity. Can you manipulate the torque equation of (t=nBIAcos) to find the magnetic field, B?

Or do you just stick to the other formulas?

Assuming you are given the torque,n,I,A and θ. Then of course you can rearrange it. (Is that the equation for torque? I can't remember it properly)
 
Yes, that's the equation for torque. How could you rearange it to B (the magnet field). I am having trouble with equations like this one , with more than three factors. How would you rearange this one?

Think of the equation like this

T=nBIAcosθ

T= B (nIAcosθ)

and you can divide both sides by 'nIAcosθ'
 
Gracias, thank you for your help.
