Chapter 19 Problem 69

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

Step 1 of 4)

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.
From the textbook chapter Multiple Choice Questions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
