Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 53P
Magnetic effects involving Jupiter’s moon Io result in an effective voltage of about 400 kV, which drives current of some 5 MA between Io and Jupiter’s polar regions. At Jupiter the current produces auroras analogous to those on Earth, as well as powerful bursts of radio waves that help radio astronomers analyze the Jovian current system. Estimate the total power associated with this current system, and compare with the 2-TW rate at which humankind consumes electrical energy.

The drawing shows a type of flow meter that can be used to measure the speed of blood in situations when a blood vessel is sufficiently exposed (e.g., during surgery). Blood is conductive enough that it can be treated as a moving conductor. When it flows perpendicularly with respect to a magnetic field, as in the drawing, electrodes can be used to measure the small voltage that develops across the vessel. Suppose the speed of the blood is 0.35 m/s and the diameter of the vessel is 7.6 mm. In a 0.22-T magnetic field what is the magnitude of the voltage that is measured with the electrodes in the drawing?

- A flip coil is a relatively simple device used to measure a magnetic field, It consists of a circular coil of N turns wound with fine conducting wire. The coil is attached to a ballistic galvanometer, a device that measures the total charge that passes through it.
