Hello,
For a biology project, I am testing the effects of electromagnetic fields on plant cells. What I want to do is rig up a 16awg 18 turn coil with a diameter about the same as that of a pop can. Then I am planning to hook that up to my SCR fired 170V 45000uF capacitor bank.
Well, I am hoping that I can send the large amount of current to the coil while it is on the stage of a microscope. A camera will be mounted to the eyepiece of the microscope where I can look at the results on the computer.
My main question is, do you think that the EMF from the coil that is about 1 to 2 feet away from the camera will damage the camera? I just hate to damage school equipment if you know what I mean :lol:
Unfortunatly I cannot get a hold of a gaussmeter.
Thanks!
