A stent is a cylindrical tube, often made of metal mesh, that’s inserted into a blood vessel to overcome a constriction. It’s sometimes necessary to heat the stent after insertion to prevent cell growth that could cause the constriction to recur. One method is to place the patient in a changing magnetic field, so that induced currents heat the stent. Consider a stainless-steel stent 12 mm long by 4.5 mm in diameter, with total resistance 41 mΩ. Treating the stent as a wire loop in the optimum orientation, find the rate of change of magnetic field needed for a heating power of 250 mW.

- A square loop whose sides are 6.0-cm long is made with copper wire of radius 1.0 mm. If a magnetic field perpendicular to the loop is changing at a rate of 5.0 mT/s, what is the current in the loop?arrow_forwardUsing an electromagnetic flowmeter (Fig. P19.69), 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 3.00 mm. (a) For a magnetic field magnitude of 0.040 0 T, a potential difference of 160 V appears between the electrodes. Calculate the speed of the blood. (b) Verify that electrode A is positive, as shown. Does the sign of the emf depend on whether the mobile ions in the blood are predominantly positively or negatively charged? Explain. Figure P19.69arrow_forwardAn electron in a TV CRT moves with a speed of 6.0107 m/s, in a direction perpendicular to Earth's field, which has a strength of 5.0105 T. (a) What strength electric field must be applied perpendicular to the Earth’s field to make the election moves in a straight line? (b) If this is done between plates separated by 1.00 cm, what is the voltage applied? (Note that TVs are usually surrounded by a ferromagnetic material to shield against external magnetic fields and avoid the need for such a collection,)arrow_forward
- A 0.50-kg copper sheet drops through a uniform horizontal magnetic field of 1.5 T, and it reaches a terminal velocity of 2.0 m's. (a) What is the net map,-, eh: force on the sheet after it reaches terminal velocity? (b) Describe the mechanism responsible for this force, (c) How much power is dissipated as Joule heating while the sheet moves at terminal velocity?arrow_forwardConsider the system pictured in Figure P28.26. A 15.0-cm horizontal wire of mass 15.0 g is placed between two thin, vertical conductors, and a uniform magnetic field acts perpendicular to the page. The wire is free to move vertically without friction on the two vertical conductors. When a 5.00-A current is directed as shown in the figure, the horizontal wire moves upward at constant velocity in the presence of gravity. (a) What forces act on the horizontal wire, and (b) under what condition is the wire able to move upward at constant velocity? (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the minimum magnetic Field required to move the wire at constant speed. (d) What happens if the magnetic field exceeds this minimum value? Figure P28.26arrow_forwardSuppose you wish to measure the current in a wire. You have a device that can measure the strength of the magnetic field produced by the wire, but the device does not directly measure the current. If the device is place 0.98m away from the wire, and the magnetic field strength is 1.72μ T, what is the current running through the wire in Amps? Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in A, however do not explicitly include units in your answer.arrow_forward
- A very large, superconducting solenoid such as one used in MRI scans, stores 1.00 MJ of energy in its magnetic field when 100 A flows. If the coils “go normal,” they gain resistance and start to dissipate thermal energy. What temperature increase is produced if all the stored energy goes into heating the 1000 kg magnet, given its average specific heat is 200 J/kg.oC ?arrow_forwardAn electromagnetic rail gun uses magnetic forces to launch projectiles. (Figure 1) shows a 10-cm-long, 10 g metal wire that can slide without friction along 1.0-m-long horizontal rails. The rails are connected to a 300 V source, and a 0.10 T magnetic field fills the space between the rails. Each rail has linear resistivity λ = 0.10 Ω/m, which means that the resistance is λ multiplied by the length of rail through which current flows. Assume that the sliding wire and the left end, where the voltage source is, have zero resistance. The wire is initially placed at x0 = 30 cm, then the switch is closed. What is the wire's speed as it leaves the rails?arrow_forwardThe magnetic field perpendicular to a single 13.2-cm-diameter circular loop of copper wire decreases uniformly from 0.670 T to zero. If the wire is 2.75 mm in diameter, how much charge moves past a point in the coil during this operation? The resistivity of copper is 1.68×10−8Ω⋅marrow_forward
- Magnetic flux density is the amount of flux passing through a defined area that is perpendicular to the direction of the flux while Magnetic flux is the amount of magnetic field (or the number of lines of force) produced by a magnetic source. (Note 1Tesla= 1Wb/m ) a) If you are to determine the flux density of a rectangular magnetic pole with face having dimensions of 200mm and 100mm. assuming the total flux emerging from the magnetic pole is 150µWb, what would be the flux density in Tesla? b) If the emerging flux of the pole is changed to 100µWb what will be the resultant density? c) When the dimensions of the magnetic pole are changed to 10m and 5m what will be the new density? d) What would happen if the magnetic pole is changed to square?arrow_forwardSuppose you wish to measure the current in a wire. You have a device that can measure the strength of the magnetic field produced by the wire, but the device does not directly measure the current. If the device is placed 1.37m away from the wire, and the magnetic field strength is 0.19μT, what is the current running through the wire in Amps?arrow_forwardAnupright rectangular loop of height a and width b has a lightbulb attached to it, with some resistance R. It is immersed in a constant magnetic field with magnitude B0, pointing into the page. Now you want to turn on the lightbulb by using Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. You may notice that the power delivered in the lightbulb varies as a function of time t. At what values of t will the lightbulb shine the brightest?arrow_forward
