    1) A current I flows through a wire, creating a magnetic field μ = IAn̂ . 2) The torque τ on a second wire in the magnetic field B is τ = μ × B. 3) Equating the components of τ and given values of τx and τy allows one to determine the components of B as functions of I, A, and the distance between the wires.
