You are working on an electromagnetic method for measuring the speed at which blood flows through arteries and veins inside the human body. Blood contains both positive and negative ions flowing together in the same direction. If those currents are exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field, they will be pushed in opposite directions, causing a charge separation between the two sides of the blood vessel. But the separated charges create an electric field that inhibits charge separation, so the effect is self-limiting. In equilibrium the net force (combined electric and magnetic) on ions in the blood will be zero, but there will be a measurable voltage across the blood vessel proportional to the electric field strength (this is called the Hall effect). (a) Draw a sketch showing how the magnetic field affects the paths followed by positive and negative ions. (b) Draw a force diagram for a positive or negative ion in equilibrium. (c) Derive a formula for how the blood speed v can be determined from measurements of the magnetic field strength, the voltage across the blood vessel, and the blood vessel diameter. (d) Determine the blood speed in the descending aorta, which has a diameter of 25mm, given that a 0.20T magnetic field produces a 2.5mV potential across the artery.

Typical blood velocities in the coronary arteries range from 10 to 30 cm/s. An electromagnetic flowmeter applies a magnetic field of 0.21 T to a coronary artery with a blood velocity of 12 cm/s. As we can see in the figure below, this field exerts a force on ions in the blood, which will separate. The ions will separate until they make an electric field that exactly balances the magnetic force. This electric field produces a voltage that can be...
Typical blood velocities in the coronary arteries range from 10 to 30 cm/s. An electromagnetic flowmeter applies a magnetic field of 0.22 T to a coronary artery with a blood velocity of 15 cm/s. As we can see in the figure below, this field exerts a force on ions in the blood, which will separate. The ions will separate until they make an electric field that exactly balances the magnetic force. This electric field produces a voltage that can be...
Blood contains positive and negative ions, which experience a magnetic force in a magnetic field as they move. An Electromagnetic Flowmeter takes advantage of this phenomenon. A heart surgeon monitors the flow rate of blood through an artery. Electrodes make contact with the outer surface of the blood vessel to measure an induced voltage. For a magnetic field strength of 0.037 T, a potential difference of 160 µV appears between the electrodes for a blood vessel of inside diameter 2.9...

7) A blood flow monitor uses a 0.5T field applied to a blood vessel perpendicular to the flow and measures the voltage across the same vessel perpendicular to both the blood flow and the field. Given the blood vessel is 2mm in diameter approximate the voltage measure. Blood flow velocity is roughly 0.3 m/s in large blood vessels. a. Assume E=V/d where d is the vessel diameter b. Use v=E/B assuming the forces on the ions in blood cancel out...
Blood contains positive and negative ions and thus is a conductor. A blood vessel, therefore, can be viewed as an electrical wire. We can even picture the flowing blood as a series of parallel conducting slabs whose thickness is the diameter 5.12 mm of the vessel moving with speed .

An electromagnetic flowmeter is to be used to measure blood speed. A magnetic field of 0.145 T is applied across an artery of inner diameter 3.80 mm. The Hall voltage is measured to be 89.8 V. What is the average speed of the blood flowing in the artery? cm/s
ctromagnetic Induction HOOSE 2 QUESTIONS: a) A flow meter can be used to measure the speed of blood in situations when a blood essel is sufficiently exposed.Blood is conductive enough that it can be treated as a moving conductor. When it flows perpendicularly with respect to a magnetic field, electrodes can be used to measure a small voltage across the vessel. Suppose the speed of the blood is 0.30 m/s and the diameter of the vessel is 5.6mm. In a...
