The magnetic field of the brain has been measured to be approximately 3.0 ×10−12T. Although the currents that cause this field are quite complicated, we can get a rough estimate of their size by modeling them as a single circular current loop 16 cm (the width of a typical head) in diameter. What current is needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop?

The magnetic field around the head has been measured to be approximately 3.00×10−8 gauss . Although the currents that cause this field are quite complicated, we can get a rough estimate of their size by modeling them as a single circular current loop 16.0 cm (the width of a typical head) in diameter. What is the current needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop? Answer in A.
The magnetic field of the brain has been measured to be approximately 3.0x10-12 T. A simple estimate of the related currents can be obtained by assuming that the magnetic field is due to a single current loop with a diameter of 16 cm (the width of a typical head). What current is needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop?
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...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive method to stimulate the brain using magnetic fields. It is used in treating strokes, Parkinson's disease, depression, and other physical conditions. In the procedure, a circular coil is placed on the side of the forehead to generate a magnetic field inside the brain. Although values can vary, a typical coil would be about 15 cm in diameter and contain 250 thin circular windings. The magnetic field in the cortex (3.0 cm from the...

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...
The human nervous system is an electric system. In particular, our brains produce a mag- netic field of approximately B = 3pF. The currents responsible for this field are rather complicated, and not easy to map. Let us, however, estimate the size of theses currents. Model the brain’s electric network as a single circuit. Estimate the size of this circuit by measuring your head’s circumference, and compute the current in your brain
The magnetic field at the center of a 1.0-cm-diameter loop is 3.0 mT 1) What is the current in the loop? 2) A long straight wire carries the same current you found in part a. At what distance from the wire is the magnetic field 3.0 mT ?
Please answer clearly Problem 3 a) Find the magnetic field H at the center of a square loop carrying a current I. The side of the square loop is b meters long. b) A circular loop that has a radius a and that carries a current I produces the same magnetic field strength at its center as that at the center of a square loop that has side b and that carries the same current I. Determine the ratio of...
