Answer

$18.4\;T$

Work Step by Step

The energy difference between the two spin orientations or electron is: $\Delta E=2\mu_BB$ or, $B=\frac{\Delta E}{2\mu_B}$ In the pervious section, we have obtained: $\Delta E=2.13\;meV=2.13\times10^{-3}\;eV$ Therefore, $B=\frac{2.13\times10^{-3}\;eV}{2\times(5.788\times10^{-5}\;eV/T)}$ or, $B=18.4\;T$ Therefore, the magnetic field is $18.4\;T$
