Measuring Blood Flow. Blood contains positive and negative ions and thus is a conductor. A blood vessel, therefore, can be viewed as an electrical wire. We can even picture the flowing blood as a series of parallel conducting slabs whose thickness is the diameter 5.13 mm of the vessel moving with speed. (See in the following figure.)

Part A If the blood vessel is placed in a magnetic field B perpendicular to the vessel, as in the figure, show that the motional potential difference induced across it is E = vBd. Essay answers are limited to about 500 words (3800 characters maximum, including spaces). 3800 Character(s) remaining

Part C Show that the volume rate of flow (R) of the blood is equal to R = TED/4B. (Note: Although the method developed here is useful in measuring the rate of blood flow in a vessel, it is limited to use in surgery because measurement of the potential E must be made directly across the vessel.)
