Because blood contains charged ions, moving blood develops a hall voltage across the diameter of an artery. a large artery with a diameter of 0.75 cm has a flow speed of 0.9 m/s. if a section of this artery is in a magnetic field of 0.24 t, what is the maximum possible potential difference across the diameter of the artery? answer in units of mv.

maximum possible potential difference = 1.62 mV

Explanation:

given data

diameter d = 0.75 cm = 0.75 × m

flow speed v = 0.9 m/s

magnetic field B = 0.24 T

to find out

maximum possible potential difference across the diameter

solution

we know that maximum possible potential difference formula is

Vh = Vd× B × d    .............................1

put here value in equation 1 we get

maximum possible potential difference = 0.9 × 0.24 ×  0.75 ×

solve we get

maximum possible potential difference = 1.62 ×

maximum possible potential difference = 1.62 mV

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
