Chapter 20 Problem 17Q

Question

The force on a particle in a magnetic field is the idea behind electromagnetic pumping. It is used to pump metallic fluids (such as sodium) and to pump blood in artificial heart machines. The basic design is shown in Fig. 20-48. An electric field is applied perpendicular to a blood vessel and to a magnetic field. Explain how ions are caused to move. Do positive and negative ions feel a force in the same direction?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 20 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The force on a particle in a magnetic field is the idea behind electromagnetic pumping. It is used to pump metallic fluids (such as sodium) and to pump blood in artificial heart machines. The basic design is shown in Fig. 20-48. An electric field is applied perpendicular to a blood vessel and to a magnetic field. Explain how ions are caused to move. Do positive and negative ions feel a force in the same direction?
From the textbook chapter The Laws of Thermodynamics you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
