Abstract

Computer simulations of induced electric currents and fields in bodies of man and rodents from powerline frequency magnetic fields are performed using the impedance method. All the computational models consist of several tens of thousands of cubic numerical cells and hence represent a realistic shape. The average, maximal and distributive data are presented and discussed for different models, species and magnetic field orientations
