Abstract :
In order to assess the biological effects of exposure of small animals to ELF magnetic fields, the characteristics of induced currents and deposited power density in a rat´s head model were analyzed. The characteristics of induced current distribution in the spheroidal rat´s brain model and the induced current difference with different field polarity were obtained
