Abstract :
Based on the experimental work using rats and chicken eggs, possible influences of the bio-membrane on the electric field and resultant current induced by the exposure to ambient ELF magnetic field have been pointed out. Existence of the biomembrane is, however, rarely implemented in conventional procedures of the induced current examination. The present contribution presents results of an analytical examination on how the thickness and electric conductivity of the bio-membrane affect the induced current profiles, indicating the significant role of the bio-membrane on the exact evaluation of the induced current characteristics
