Chapter 20 Problem 20.8

Question

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is placed on the scalp, and a brief burst of current in the coil produces a rapidly changing magnetic eld inside the brain. The induced emf can be sufcient to stimulate neuronal activity. One such device generates a magnetic eld within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms. Determine the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the eld.

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 20 problem number 8 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is placed on the scalp, and a brief burst of current in the coil produces a rapidly changing magnetic eld inside the brain. The induced emf can be sufcient to stimulate neuronal activity. One such device generates a magnetic eld within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms. Determine the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the eld.
From the textbook chapter Induced Voltages and Inductance you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
