Abstract :
Some experimental reports suggest the significant role of tissue membrane on the ELF magnetically induced current distribution, which is rarely implemented in a numerical procedure of induced current estimation. The paper presents an analytical examination of those results by demonstrating how the thickness and conductivity of the tissue membrane affects the current profiles near a simple biological tissue model exposed either to ELF uniform current or to ELF nonuniform current
