Abstract

This thesis dealt with the design and construction of a pulsed magnetic field (PMF) generation circuit. The spatial variations of the generated PMF are also studied The generated PMF is intended to be used for two purposes (a) in hospitals, for its healing effect of broken bones, and (b) to study the effects of PMF on industrial bacteria and their activity in transforming toxic waste to benign waste

A square coil made of two sections is constructed and the associated circuitry for the PMF generation is designed and built The circuitry is divided into two parts. the control circuit and the power circuit. The control circuit generates timing pulses and its design is not affected by the coil size or by the required field strength. The ratings of the power circuit components are to be changed according to the coil size and the required PMF specification.

The circuit, was delivered to the UMDNJ who supported the project.
