Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique for measuring changes in the magnetic field of the brain caused by external stimuli such as touching the body or viewing images of food. Such a change in the field occurs due to electrical activity (current) in the brain. During the process, magnetic sensors are placed on the skin to measure the magnetic field at that location....
PART A)
The magnitude of the magnetic field due to a circular loop current carrying coil of radius R is given by the equation,
here x represent the distance away from the center along the axis of the loop. So, rearraging eq. (1) for the current,
since we want the current in one hemisphere of the brain, use
thus, isnerting data given,
or
PART B)
In this case use,
then plug in this value in eq. (1) plus the current calculated in PART A)

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique for measuring changes in the magnetic field of the brain caused by external stimuli such as touching the body or viewing images of food. Such a change in the field occurs due to electrical activity (current) in the brain. During the process, magnetic sensors are placed on the skin to measure the magnetic field at that location. Typical field strengths are a few femtoteslas (1 femtotesla=1 fT=10−15 T) . An adult brain is about 140...
Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or MEG, is used to study electrical activity in the brain using this concept. This technique is capable of detecting magnetic fields as weak as 0.8x10−15 T. Model the neuron as a long wire carrying a current and find the current it must carry to produce a field of this magnitude at a distance of 3.8 cm from the neuron.
Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or MEG, is used to study electrical activity in the brain using this concept. This technique is capable of detecting magnetic fields as weak as 1.0 10-15 T. Model the neuron as a long wire carrying a current and find the current it must carry to produce a field of this magnitude at a distance of 4.4 cm from the neuron.
Typical field strengths are a few femoteslas (1fT=10^-15T). An adult brain is about 140mm wide, divided into two sections (called hemispheres) each about 70mm wide. We can model the current in one hemisphere as a circular loop, 65mm in diameter, just inside the brain. The sensor is placed so that it is along the axis of the loop 2.30cm from the center. A reasonable magnetic field is 4.35fT at the sensor. According to this model, what is the current in...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is placed on the scalp, and a brief burst of current in the coil produces a rapidly changing magnetic field inside the brain. The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity. One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.7 T in 100 ms. Determine the magnitude of the induced emf within...
