Abstract: The calculations of nematic order in liquid crystals with an external magnetic field are made based on the cell theory.By taking account of the molecular short range correlations,the dependences of order parameter and internal energy on magnetic strengty are in close agreement with those of the simulation.

Key words: liquid crystal, External magnetic field, Nematic order, Short range correlation
