Abstract
Induced electric field and current density in a child's body exposed to a 60-Hz electric field are calculated and compared with those for an adult's body. Because of the different proportions of the child body relative to these of the adult body, differences in the induced electric field and current density values in various organs are observed. These results are interpreted in terms of international guideline limits, and hypotheses regarding plausible interactions.Keywords
