Blood plasma has a high content of ions, and as blood follows through a vessel, the ions travel along at the same speed. A magnetic field is applied such that the field is perpendicular to the vessel as shown in Figure Q20.18. (a) What effect will the magnetic field have on the distribution of positive ions? (b) What effect will the magnetic field have on how the negative ions are distributed? (c) Consider the overall distribution of charge in the presence of the magnetic field. Will an electric field be present? If so, in what direction is it oriented?
