The use of superconductors has been proposed for power transmission lines. A single coaxial cable (Fig. P31.47) could carry a power of 1.00 103 MW (the output of a large power plant) at 200 kV, DC, over a distance of 1.00 103 km without loss.

There are multiple reasons for this prohibition. One reason is the physical torque on the device due to the MRI's magnetic field. Suppose a patient’s pacemaker implant requires I=2.7 mA of current to function. The leads of the device travel close together until they reach the heart and then split off to touch the top and bottom of the heart, such that size of the current loop is approximately half the cross-sectional area of the heart. Suppose the MRI machine uses a magnetic field of B=2.0 T. Treating the heart as a box that is L=13.0 cm long and W=8.0 cm wide, calculate the magnitude of the maximum torque τ on the current loop.arrow_forward
