Question

Using an electromagnetic flowmeter, a heart surgeon monitors the flow rate of blood through an artery. Electrodes A and B make contact with the outer surface of the blood vessel, which has interior diameter 3.30 mm. For a magnetic field magnitude of 0.020 0 T, a potential difference of 110 μV appears between the electrodes. (a) Calculate the speed of the blood.

Expert Solution

Step 1

(given)

Interior diameter (d) of the blood vessel = 3.30 mm = 0.0033 m

Magnetic field (B) = 0.0200 T

Potential difference (V) between the electrodes = 110 $μ$ V = 110 $\times 10^{- 6} V$

Speed of the blood is

$v_{b} = \frac{V}{B d}$
