Chapter 19 Problem 19.57

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

Step 1 of 7)

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.
