Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to calculate the maximum electric field in the brain tissue surrounding a microcoil. The microcoil is represented as a wire coupled capacitively to the surrounding tissue. For a 1 mA, 3 kHz current in the wire, the value of the electric field intensity in the tissue is approximately 4 mV/m. The intensity of the electric field is proportional to the frequency, the capacitance per unit area, and the square of the wire length. The electric field produced by this coil by electromagneti… Show more
