Abstract

In this paper, the evaluation of current induced in human the body model exposed to ELF (extremely low frequency) electric and magnetic field generated by a power line is presented. The induced current density in the three-dimensional (3D) model human body is obtained by using the Finite element method (FEM).In this paper, the human body is represented by an inhomogeneous model (rotationally-cylindrical body model) composed of several organs of spheroid shape; brain, heart, lungs, liver and intestines. The numerical model was implemented in COMSOL Multiphysics.
