Electrical Conductivity01:13

Electrical Conductivity

1.8K
In perfect conductors, the electric field inside is always zero due to the abundance of free electrons, which nullify any field by flowing. As a result, any residual charge resides on the surface.
In a practical conductor, an applied electric field may be sustained, causing a flow of electrons, which produce a current. The differential form of the current, the current density, is related to the electric field.
More generally, it is related to the force per unit charge, which involves the...

Electric Field of Parallel Conducting Plates01:16

Electric Field of Parallel Conducting Plates

1.7K
Gauss' law relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface. Gauss's law can be applied to find the electric field and the charge enclosed in a region depending on its charge distribution.
Consider a cross-section of a thin, infinite conducting plate having a positive charge. For such a large thin plate, as the thickness of the plate tends to zero, the positive charges lie on the plate's two large faces. Without an external electric field, the...

Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

531
Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Conduction System of the Heart01:19

Conduction System of the Heart

13.1K
Autorhythmicity is a term that refers to the heart's inherent ability to generate electrical signals and instigate muscle contractions. This self-regulating conduction system within the heart consists of two key components: the pacemaker cells and specialized conducting cells.
The pacemaker cells are located in two primary nodes: the sinoatrial (SA) node and the atrioventricular (AV) node. The SA node pacemaker cells can autonomously depolarize, triggering an action potential that leads to the...

Conduction System of the Heart01:20

Conduction System of the Heart

3.7K
The cardiac conduction system produces and transmits electrical impulses that prompt myocardial contraction, ensuring efficient heart function. This intricate system ensures that the heart beats in a coordinated and efficient manner, beginning with the atria and then the ventricles. The conduction system optimizes cardiac output by maintaining this precise sequence, which is crucial for adequate blood circulation.
This system relies on the unique properties of nodal and Purkinje cells:...

Resistance and Conductance01:25

Resistance and Conductance

508
A conductor's DC resistance at a given temperature is influenced by its resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area. Resistivity is an inherent property of the conductor material, with annealed copper serving as the international standard for measurement. For instance, the resistivity of hard-drawn aluminum at 20 degrees Celsius is 61% of the standard conductivity of annealed copper.
Various factors impact the resistance of a conductor. Spiraling in stranded conductors increases their...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Patients undergoing MRI are exposed to strong static and alternating electromagnetic fields.
  • Foreign materials with magnetic or conductive properties can lead to hazardous interactions during MRI scans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically present the physical principles governing interactions between MRI fields and foreign materials.
  • To highlight potential safety risks associated with implants and objects in the MRI environment.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of physical principles relevant to MRI interactions.
  • Analysis of forces (translational, torque) and induced currents/voltages on foreign materials.

Main Results:

  • Diamagnetic human tissues experience minimal forces; ferromagnetic materials (e.g., iron) experience significant translational forces and torque.
  • Electrically conductive materials, especially long structures like implants, are prone to induced currents and voltages, potentially causing heating.
  • Conductive implants with loops can vibrate due to gradient switching, and tilting conductive plates induces counter forces.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the physics of MRI-material interactions is crucial for patient safety.
  • Ferromagnetic and conductive properties of foreign objects are key determinants of MRI-related risks.
  • Predicting and mitigating risks from induced currents, voltages, and forces in implants requires careful consideration of material properties and implant design.
