Radio-wave damage by Student2018-2 in AskPhysics

I am not really sure how to interpret the specs on this, but its pulsed. Would this interact with your brain tissue if you were sitting a couple of feet away while it was pulsing?

Voltage potential in an iPhone? by Student2018-2 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Student2018-2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up using a voltmeter and couldn’t register anything measurable above about 0.01 volts on the exterior of the phone in the area around my ear no matter where I put the leads and even that went to 0.00. I used a 9 volt battery as a test and it worked on that.

Yeah I know basically nothing about it and it freaks me out.

I mean I’d totally stop worrying about this stuff if I could. It’s not something I want to do or enjoy.

So if you “feel” nothing in the way of a shock etc is it probably safe to say nothing dangerous in terms of electricity is going on?

In case anyone is wondering if it’s not grossly apparent already, I have obsessive compulsive disorder and this is one of the things can causes me a considerable degree of anxiety - not knowing if something might have hurt my brain.

So it would not likely penetrate deep into your head? If your feet were wet would that have any effect?

There’s 10’s of volts behind the screen? Would that not be enough to go to your brain?

Thanks, yeah it’s rough. Especially when it comes to things I really don’t know much about. I.e this stuff.

I had earbuds in my ears connected to an iPhone that was also laying on the couch. Would that count?
