A large water main is 2.25 m in diameter and the average water velocity is 6.75 m/s. If there are some slight impurities in the water, it can easily become a conductor and this flow represents a small electrical current. d = 2.25 mv = 6.75 m/s Find the Hall voltage produced if the pipe runs perpendicular to the Earth’s 5.00 × 10-5 T field.

Unreasonable results Frustrated by the small Hall voltage obtained in blood flow measurements, a medical physicist decides to increase the applied magnetic field strength to get a 0.500-V output for blood moving at 30.0 cm/s in a 1.50-cm-diameter vessel. (a) What magnetic field strength is needed? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (C) Which premise is responsible?
(a) What is the speed of a supersonic aircraft with a 17.0-m wingspan, if it experiences a 1.60V Hall voltage between its wing lips when in level flight over the north magnetic pole, where the Earth's field strength is 8.00105T ? (b) Explain why very little current flows as a result of this Hall voltage.
Using 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.

An 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,)
