    About this ebook

    This booklet clearly describes EMR (electro-magnetic radiation) and RF Radiation in simple terms. He lays out what it is and how it is caused. Without panic-mongering, the author then explains whether devices like iPhones, mobile phones, iPads, tablets, microwave ovens and smart meters can be a health problem, and how to avoid over-exposure if necessary.

      Chapter 1

      EMR/RF Basics

      How is power transported without cables?

      We need a minimum of two cables to get power to a device. Regardless of whether it is powered by a battery or the 240V power socket in the wall.

      In the wires connected to your device, the electric current flows towards the device and back to the source. Some of the power delivered is used in your device. For example, a solder iron will become hot, or a Hi-Fi system will play music.

      As the name electro-magnetic waves implies, the wave has two components: an electrical field and a magnetic field.

      Wavelength

      Imagine placing a pendulum on a car and driving down the road at a speed (v). If you then paint the position of the pendulum on the street while the car is moving, the resulting curve is a sinus curve and the length of one wave is the wavelength λ (Lamda).

      We use the same calculation to calculate the wavelength of electro-magnetic waves. The speed here is the speed of light c0=299,792,458 m/s. If an exact result is not required, we can use the rounded-up light speed: c0 ≈ 300,00 km/s.

      Magnetic Field

      Maybe you did this experiment at school:

      If we connect a voltage source to a wire, a current will flow. Immediately around the wire is a magnetic field which
