This effect is an additional electrical charge generated by ions in blood (loaded particles) moving perpendicular to the magnetic field. At 1.5 T, no significant changes are expected; at 6.0 T a 10% blood pressure change is expected. A blood pressure increase is predicted theoretically for a field of 10 T. This is claimed to be caused by interaction of induced electrical potentials and currents within a solution, e.g. blood, and an electrical volume force causing a retardation in the direction opposite to the fluid flow. This decrease in blood flow-velocity must be compensated for by an elevation in pressure.
Static magnetic field gradients of 0.01 T/cm (100 G/cm) make no significant difference in the membrane transport processes. The influence of a static magnetic field upon erythrocytes is not sufficient to provoke sedimentation, as long as there is a normal blood circulation.

The magnetohydrodynamic effect which results from a voltage occurring across a vessel in a magnetic field, is irrelevant at the field strengths used.

Electrical device operating on the principle of mutual induction to change the magnitude of current and voltage.

(W) The SI unit of power.
Definition: 1 watt is equal to a power rate of one joule of work per second of time or in electrical terms it is the power produced by a current of one ampere flowing through an electric potential of one volt.
Power is the rate at which work is done, or the rate at which energy is expended and is used both in mechanics and in electricity.
The unit is named for James Watt, a British engineer.
