A wire of length 0.50 m carries a current of 0.10 A inthe positive x-direction, parallel to the ground. If thewire has a weight of 1.0 3 1022 N, what is the minimummagnitude magnetic field that exerts a magneticforce on the wire equal to the wires weight? (a) 0.20 T(b) 0.30 T (c) 0.40 T (d) 0.50 T (e) 0.60 T

Question
Using an electromagnetic flowmeter (Fig.P19.69), a heart surgeon monitors the flow rate ofblood through an artery. Electrodes A and B make contactwith the outer surface of the blood vessel, whichhas interior diameter 3.00 mm. (a) For a magneticfield magnitude of 0.040 0 T, a potential differenceof 160 mV appears between the electrodes. Calculatethe speed of the blood. (b) Verify that electrode A ispositive, as shown. Does the sign of the emf dependon whether the mobile ions in the blood are predominantlypositively or negatively charged? Explain.
Solution
The first step in solving 19 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Using an electromagnetic flowmeter (Fig.P19.69), a heart surgeon monitors the flow rate ofblood through an artery. Electrodes A and B make contactwith the outer surface of the blood vessel, whichhas interior diameter 3.00 mm. (a) For a magneticfield magnitude of 0.040 0 T, a potential differenceof 160 mV appears between the electrodes. Calculatethe speed of the blood. (b) Verify that electrode A ispositive, as shown. Does the sign of the emf dependon whether the mobile ions in the blood are predominantlypositively or negatively charged? Explain.
