Abstract :
In this paper, the characteristics of total current density in a homogeneous ellipsoidal human model exposed to 60 Hz electric and magnetic fields have been discussed in consideration of the phase difference between electric and magnetic fields. According to the calculated results using the values of 1kV/m electric field and 1μT magnetic field, it is found considering the phase difference that the induced current densities in the ellipsoidal model are affected by the relationship between Bx and Ez, and are hardly affected by Bz. As a result, it is clear that the phase difference is a significant factor which affects the total induced current density in the ellipsoidal model.
