Calculation of Internal Electric Fields Induced in Each Body Part of Human Models by ELF and Intermediate Frequency Uniform Magnetic Fields

Abstract

In this study, the internal (in situ) electric field induced in human tissues by ELF and intermediate frequency uniform magnetic fields has been determined using the scalar potential finite difference (SPFD) method. These calculations were conducted on adult Japanese numerical models and the calculation results were compared with the DRL (dosimetric reference limits) provided in the IEEE safety standard. Under the ERL (exposure reference levels) condition defined in the IEEE C95.1^TM-2019 standard, the calculated internal electric fields exceeded the DRL in the cases for certain body parts and conditions.
