Abstract：
:Induction cookers are a type of cooking appliance that uses an intermediate-frequency magnetic field to heat the cooking vessel. The magnetic flux density produced by an induction cooker during operation was measured according to the EN 62233 standard, and the measured values were below the limits set in the standard. The measurements were used to validate a numerical model consisting of three vertically displaced coaxial current loops at 35 kHz. The numerical model was then used to compute the electric field (E) and induced current (J) in 26 and 30 weeks pregnant women and 6 and 11 year old children. Both E and J were found to be below the basic restrictions of the 2010 low-frequency and 1998 ICNRIP guidelines. The maximum computed E fields in the whole body were 0.11 and 0.66 V m(-1) in the 26 and 30 weeks pregnant women and 0.28 and 2.28 V m(-1) in the 6 and 11 year old children (ICNIRP basic restriction 4.25 V m(-1)). The maximum computed J fields in the whole body were 46 and 42 mA m(-2) in the 26 and 30 weeks pregnant women and 27 and 16 mA m(-2) in the 6 and 11 year old children (ICNIRP basic restriction 70 mA m(-2)).
