Abstract
The present study focuses on some possible effects of magnetic fields on the conductivity and flow velocity of electrolytic solutions. First, we studied the effects of magnetic fields up to 8 T on the conductivity of KCI and NaHCO3 solutions. A solution containing 0.3 M KCI was exposed to a magnetic field of 8 T for more than 10 hours at 25°C. After exposure, we measured the conductivity with no magnetic fields, and observed that the conductivity of the solution had decreased. Next, we investigated whether intense magnetic fields affect the flow of an isotonic sodium-chloride solution. We could not detect any change in the flow velocity of a 0.9% NaCl solution in magnetic fields up to 8 T under constant pressure.
