Chapter 19 Problem 19.10

Question

Sodium ions (Na) move at 0.851m/s through a bloodstream in the arm of a person standing near a large magnet. The magnetic eld has a strength of 0.254T and makes an angle of 51.0 with the motion of the sodium ions. The arm contains 100cm3 of blood with 3.00 1020 Naions per cubic centimeter. If no other ions were present in the arm, what would be the magnetic force on the arm?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 19 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Sodium ions (Na) move at 0.851m/s through a bloodstream in the arm of a person standing near a large magnet. The magnetic eld has a strength of 0.254T and makes an angle of 51.0 with the motion of the sodium ions. The arm contains 100cm3 of blood with 3.00 1020 Naions per cubic centimeter. If no other ions were present in the arm, what would be the magnetic force on the arm?
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
