Question

What hall voltage is produced by a 0.200-t field applied across a 2.60-cm-diameter aorta when blood velocity is 60.0 cm/s?

Answer 1

The hall voltage will be calculated using the formula:

E = Blv

where: 

>Hall voltage: E = ?
>Magnetic field:
               B = 0.200 Tesla or Wb/m^2
>Width of conductor or Diameter of Aorta:
               l = 2.60 cm, converting to meter = .0260 m
>Velocity of charge flowing:
              v = 60 cm/s, converting to meter = 0.6 m/s

Substituting the given :

E = (0.200 Wb/m^2) * (0.260 m) * (0.6 m/s)
E = (0.200 Wb/m^2) * (0.156 m^2/s)
E = 0.0312 Wb/s

Since 1 volt = 1 Wb/s then,

E = 0.0312 V or 31.2 mV
