Abstract(in English) Contact currents flow from/into a human body, when contacting an object such as a metal structure with a different electric potential due to electromagnetic field exposure, which should stimulate muscle and peripheral nerves. In this context, numerical analysis of electric fields induced by contact current in a human body have been performed so far, while further quantification of induced fields in specific tissues is required. In our previous studies, we analyzed the induced electric field in a human body due to transient contact currents from charged human body models of Japanese adult and child. In this paper, we analyze the induced field in models of adult and 3-year-old child. As a computational result, the difference of the time course of the transient contact currents was found in the decay of the amplitude of contact current. This difference is attributed to the capacitance of the model; that of the 3-year-old child is about half of that of the adult male.
