Effect of magnetic fields with industrial frequency on water and solution properties

Abstract

Water is an integral part of living organisms and it amounts to 80–90% of their weight. Water has many-sided significance on a cell. It acts as a solvent for mineral and for many organic materials, it is a medium for transportation of nutrients, were enzyme-catalysed metabolic reactions take place and chemical energy is transferred. Exposure to magnetic fields has changed water properties: polarized liquid structures are destroyed; changes occur in water, in ionic mobility of solutions and in intermolecular contacts, moistening and capillary properties of water (adhesion, cohesion) have been changed, as well as electrical conductivity, dielectric permittivity, magneto-optical characteristics and effect on biological objects. The article analyses effect of industrial frequency magnetic fields on moisturising properties of water and solution. Analysis of the obtained results showed that dilatation area on filter paper and height of water in a capillary glass tube of magnetised water and solution depended on strength of magnetic field (H) and on speed of water and solution movement (v) through magnetising apparatus.
