Variations in the resistivity of blood can give valuable cluesto changes in the blood's viscosity and other properties. Theresistivity is measured by applying a small potential differenceand measuring the current. Suppose a medical device attacheselectrodes into a 1.5-mm-diameter vein at two points 5.0 cmapart.
Part A: What is the blood resistivity if a 8.9 V potentialdifference causes a 230 μA
current through the blood in the vein?
Variations in the resistivity of blood can give valuable clues to changes in the blood's viscosity and other properties.
