MRI power failure Jose needs an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan. During the exam, Jose lies in a region of a very strong 1.5-T magnetic field that points down into his chest from above. A sudden power failure causes the power supply for the magnet to shut down, reducing the magnetic field from 1.5 T to 0 T in 0.50 s. Consequently, the field through Jose’s 0.3-m by 0.4-m chest decreases. The conductive fluid tissue inside his body along the edge of his chest is a loop, with the chest as the area inside this loop. (a) Estimate the induced emf around this conducting loop as the field decreases. (b) If the resistance of his body tissue around this loop is 5 ?, what is the induced current passing around his body? (c) What is the direction of the current?
