We can make a simple model to see if this is reasonable by imagining a somewhat extreme case. Suppose a patient having an MRI is immersed in a 3.0 T field along the axis of his body. He then quickly tips his head to the side, toward his right shoulder, tipping his head by 30° in the rather short time of 0.15 s. Estimate the area of the tongue; then calculate the emf that could be induced in a loop around the outside of the tongue by this motion of the head. How does this emf compare to the approximately 15 mV necessary to trigger an action potential? Does it seem reasonable to suppose that an induced emf is responsible for the noted effect?

Problem 56GP Currents induced by rapid field changes in an MRI solenoid can, in some cases, heat tissues in the body, but under normal circumstances the heating is small. We can do a quick estimate to show this. Consider the “loop” of muscle tissue shown in Figure P25.61. This might be muscle circling the bone of your arm or leg. Muscle tissue is not a great conductor, but current will pass through muscle and so we can consider this a conducting loop with a rather high resistance. Suppose the magnetic field along the axis of the loop drops from 1.6 T to 0 T in 0.30 s, as it might in an MRI solenoid. a. How much energy is dissipated in the loop? b. By how much will the temperature of the tissue increase? Assume that muscle tissue has resistivity 13 ? · m, density , and specific heat 3600 J/kg · K.

Problem 62GP Experiments to study vision often need to track the movements of a subject’s eye. One way of doing so is to have the subject sit in a magnetic field while wearing special contact lenses that have a coil of very fine wire circling the edge.

Consider an experiment in which a 20-turn, 6.0-mm-diameter coil of wire circles the subject’s cornea while a 1.0 T magnetic field is directed as shown in Figure P25.66.

Problem 76PP The Metal Detector Metal detectors use induced currents to sense the presence of any metal—not just magnetic materials such as iron. A metal detector, shown in Figure P25.78, consists of two coils: a transmitter coil and a receiver coil. A high-frequency oscillating current in the transmitter coil generates an oscillating magnetic field along the axis and a changing flux through the receiver coil. Consequently, there is an oscillating induced current in the receiver coil. If a piece of metal is placed between the transmitter and the receiver, the oscillating magnetic field in the metal induces eddy currents in a plane parallel to the transmitter and receiver coils. The receiver coil then responds to the superposition of the transmitter’s magnetic field and the magnetic field of the eddy currents. Because the eddy currents attempt to prevent the flux from changing, in accordance with Lenz’s law, the net field at the receiver decreases when a piece of metal is inserted between the coils. Electronic circuits detect the current decrease in the receiver coil and set off an alarm. The metal detector will not detect insulators because A. Insulators block magnetic fields. B. No eddy current can be produced in an insulator. C. No emf can be produced in an insulator. D. An insulator will increase the field at the receiver.
