Answer:
2 m/s
Explanation:
The electromagnetic flow-metre work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The induced voltage is given as
[tex]E = Blv[/tex]
where [tex]E[/tex] is the induced voltage = 2.88 mV = 2.88 x 10^-3 V
[tex]l[/tex] is the distance between the electrodes in this field which is equivalent to the diameter of the tube = 1.2 cm = 1.2 x 10^-2 m
[tex]v[/tex] is the velocity of the fluid through the field = ?
[tex]B[/tex] is the magnetic field = 0.120 T
substituting, we have
2.88 x 10^-3 = 0.120 x 1.2 x 10^-2 x [tex]v[/tex]
2.88 x 10^-3 = 1.44 x 10^-3 x [tex]v[/tex]
[tex]v[/tex] = 2.88/1.44 = 2 m/s
