In his later years, he wore an artificial pacemaker. Always an experimentalist, Ney often held a strong laboratory magnet near his chest to see what effect it had on his pacemaker. Perhaps he was using the magnet to throw switches that control different modes of operation. An admiring student (without an artificial pacemaker) thought it would be fun to imitate this great man by holding a strong magnet to his own chest. The natural pacemaker of the heart (known as the sinoatrial node) carries a current of about 0.5 mA. Estimate the magnetic force exerted on a natural pacemaker by a strong magnet held to the chest. How do you think the student might have felt during the experiment? Explain your geometric assumptions. Hints: See Table 30.1 (page 941) to estimate the magnetic field, and assume the field is roughly uniform. Use Figure P30.58 to estimate the size of the sinoatrial node; your heart is about the size of your fist. FIGURE P30.58arrow_forward
