Abstract:
Electromagnetic noise is rapidly increasing in the environment. Electromagnetic fields (EMF) originating from a variety of different sources have been shown to interfere with the function of implanted cardiac pacemaker. The authors present the effect of EMF generated by wireless telephones on different types of artificial pacemakers. In addition, instructions on safe use of mobile phones addressed to people with implanted artificial pacemaker are provided.

Biot-Savart Law: Problem-Solving
Consider a mobile phone battery bank as a source of steady current, which flows through the wire connected between the two. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field created by this current at a field point P?
To estimate the magnitude of the total magnetic field, we first consider a small current element of length dl, at a distance r from the field point. Now the following...
