An electron gun res electrons into a magnetic eld directed straight downward. Find the direction of the force exerted by the eld on an electron for each of the following directions of the electrons velocity: (a) horizontal and due north; (b) horizontal and 30west of north; (c)due north, but at 30 below the horizontal; (d) straight upward. (Remember that an electron has a negative charge.)

Question
Using an electromagnetic owmeter (Fig. P19.57), a heart surgeon monitors the ow rate of blood through an artery. Electrodes A and B make contact with the outer surface of the blood vessel, which has interior diameter 3.00 mm. (a) For a magnetic eld magnitude of 0.040 0 T, a potential difference of 160 V appears between the electrodes. Calculate the speed of the blood. (b) Verify that electrode A is positive, as shown. Does the sign of the emf depend on whether the mobile ions in the blood are predominantly positively or negatively charged? Explain.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Using an electromagnetic owmeter (Fig. P19.57), a heart surgeon monitors the ow rate of blood through an artery. Electrodes A and B make contact with the outer surface of the blood vessel, which has interior diameter 3.00 mm. (a) For a magnetic eld magnitude of 0.040 0 T, a potential difference of 160 V appears between the electrodes. Calculate the speed of the blood. (b) Verify that electrode A is positive, as shown. Does the sign of the emf depend on whether the mobile ions in the blood are predominantly positively or negatively charged? Explain.
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
