ELF Coupling to Biospheres.
Abstract
The induced fields, currents and power absorbed by spherical models of humans or animals when exposed to ELF electromagnetic fields are calculated in this report. It is shown by a quasi-static approximation that the induced field is comprised of two components: an electric term and a magnetic term. The relative importance of each term is discussed. It is concluded that chronic biological effects of an acute nature (such as body heating or neural activity) are unlikely to occur from ELF electromagnetic fields of low intensity.
