The field at the centre of a circular loop of radius R is B=μ0I2RB=\dfrac{\mu_0 I}{2R} (Section 10.12), so the current is I=2BRμ0I=\dfrac{2BR}{\mu_0}. The magnetic moment is m=IπR2=2BRμ0⋅πR2=2πBR3μ0m=I\pi R^2=\dfrac{2BR}{\mu_0}\cdot\pi R^2=\dfrac{2\pi BR^3}{\mu_0}. Substituting B=6.4×10−6B=6.4\times10^{-6} T, R=12.3 cm=0.123R=12.3\ \text{cm}=0.123 m, μ0=4π×10−7\mu_0=4\pi\times10^{-7} T.m/A: $m=\dfrac{2\pi(6.4\times10^{-6})(0.123)^3 …
