Heart-lung machines and artificial kidney machines employ blood pumps. $A$ mechanical pump can mangle blood cells. The figure represents an electromagnetic pump. The blood is confined to an electrically insulating tube, represented as a rectangle of width $\omega$ and height $h$. Two electrodes fit into the top and the bottom of the tube. The potential difference between them establishes an electric current through the blood, with current density $J$ over a section of length $L$. $A$ perpendicular magnetic field $B$ exists in the same region. The section of liquid in the magnetic field experiences a pressure increase given by:

  • A
    $JLB$
  • B
    $JhB$
  • C
    $\frac{J\omega hB}{L}$
  • D
    No pressure increase occurs.

$A, B$ and $C$ are three parallel conductors of equal lengths carrying currents $I, I$ and $2I$ respectively. The distance between $A$ and $B$ is $x$ and that between $B$ and $C$ is also $x$. $F_1$ is the force exerted by conductor $B$ on $A$. $F_2$ is the force exerted by conductor $C$ on $A$. The current $I$ in $A$ and $I$ in $B$ are in the same direction,and the current $2I$ in $C$ is in the opposite direction. Then:
