MRI is turning the magnetic field on or off too quickly

Reference no: EM13655423

One possible concern with MRI is turning the magnetic field on or off too quickly. Bodily fluids are conductors, and a changing magnetic field could cause electrical currents to flow through thepatient. Suppose a typical patient has a maximum cross-section of0.060 m². What is the smallest time interval in which a 5.0 Tmagnetic field can be turned on or off if the induced emf around the patient’s body must be kept to less then 0.10 V?
