Question

The Electromagnetic Pump. Magnetic forces acting on conducting fluids provide a convenient means of pumping these fluids. For example, this method can be used to pump blood without the damage to the cells that can be caused by a mechanical pump. A horizontal tube with rectangular cross section (height , width ) is placed at right angles to a uniform magnetic field magnitude so that a length is in the field (Fig. P27.90). The tube is filled with a or blood conducting liquid, and an electric current of density is maintained in the third mutually perpendicular direction. (a) Show that the difference of pressure between a point in the liquid on a vertical plane through and a point in the liquid on another vertical plane through , under conditions in which the liquid is prevented from flowing, is \(\Delta p=J I B\) (b) What current density is needed to provide a pressure difference of atm between these two points if and
