Abstract

The effect of applying a DC magnetic field on the streaming potential developed across cancellous bone samples is reported. Electrolyte fluid (0.95 mM NaCl) was made to flow at different rates through a thin disc sample while a DC magnetic field was applied normal and parallel to the direction of the flow. The results may confirm the existence of the streaming potential hypothesis yet no significant correlation was observed between the magnetic field at two different orientations and the streaming potential.
