Chapter 22 Problem 99

Question

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation A recently developed method to study brain function is to produce a rapidly changing magnetic eld within the brain. When this technique, known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is applied to the prefrontal cortex, for example, it can reduce a persons ability to conjugate verbs, though other thought processes are unaffected. The rapidly varying magnetic eld is produced with a circular coil of 21 turns and a radius of 6.0 cm placed directly on the head. The current in this loop increases at the rate of (by discharging a capacitor). (a)At what rate does the magnetic eld at the center of the coil increase? (b) Suppose a second coil with half the area of the rst coil is used instead. Would your answer to part (a) increase, decrease, or stay the same? By what factor?

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 22 problem number 99 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation A recently developed method to study brain function is to produce a rapidly changing magnetic eld within the brain. When this technique, known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is applied to the prefrontal cortex, for example, it can reduce a persons ability to conjugate verbs, though other thought processes are unaffected.

(b) Suppose a second coil with half the area of the rst coil is used instead. Would your answer to part (a) increase, decrease, or stay the same? By what factor?
From the textbook chapter Magnetism you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
