The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory once held the world record for creating the strongest magnetic field. Their largest hybrid magnet can produce a constant magnetic field of 45 T 45 T . To see if such a strong magnetic field could pose health risks for nearby workers, calculate the maximum acceleration the field could produce for Na + Na+ ions (of mass 3.8 × 10 − 26 kg 3.8×10−26 kg ) in blood traveling through the aorta. The speed of blood is highly variable, but 45 cm/s 45 cm/s is reasonable in the aorta.
