First of all, EMPs don't really explode like a nuclear bomb. It releases alot of energy like a nuclear bomb. EMP's do not affect the body... that much.

An Electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects caused by?
The explosion of an atomic weapon can cause an EMP.
Can you direct an emp?
sadly not when a emp is released, usually with a large explosion, it goes in all directions instead of a straight line
What are some of the effects on the human body of a nuclear explosion?
Some of the effects on the human body from a nuclear explosion are death (from thermal energy/blast effects or super lethal radiation exposure), infertility and blood disorders.
In red v blue does agent tex shela Andy and omally ever return?
Tex - Dies in EMP explosion Sheila - Active in the crashed pelican at Valhalla Andy - Exploded to crash Sheilas pelican Omally/Omega - Died in EMP explosion
What kind of communcations deviceradio would be able to survive an emp blast given off by a nuclear explosion?
Vacuum tube radios.
What are the effects of a microwave in a landfill?
maybe explosion?
What happens when a atomic bomb explodes?
When an atomic bomb explodes it forms a mushroom cloud, the explosion gives off EMP or Electro Magnetic Pulse, the explosion is huge and can destroy so much for miles, and the explosion gives off huge amounts of radiation so if you survive the explosion you can suffer or die from the radiation after the bomb blew up.
Can an explosion at a nuclear plant such as the Fukushima one in Japan cause an EMP?
The Fukushima plant explosions occurred at the nuclear facility, but they were hydrogen explosions (hydrogen exploding, not a hydrogen-bomb explosion), so no. It would take a much higher release of energy than a hydrogen explosion to generate a significant electro-magnetic pulse or EMP. Nuclear plants can cause significant and very long-term damage when they melt down and impact a lot of people with the release of radioactive material, but are not capable of exploding like an "atomic bomb." Fission and fusion bombs have to be specially designed and engineered to create those EMP-inducing mega-explosions.
Greatest damage in an explosion?
In any explosion (conventional or nuclear) most of the damage is from blast effects.
Effects of electricity?
EMP is the primary result of a high-altitude nuclear detonation, though it happens with any nuclear detonation. The higher the blast, the wider the pulse area is and the more electronics are affected, which is why an HA burst is always considered for a nuclear response. Though military facilities are EMP hardened, most civilian areas aren't, and such a burst would severely cripple a country's infrastructure.An EMP by even a small weapon at high altitude would literally send the U.S. into the Stone Age, as our current technologies are more vulnerable to EMP than in previous years.
What are electromagnetic pulse effects caused by?
The term electromagnetic pulse (sometimes abbreviated EMP) has the following meanings:A burst of electromagnetic radiation that results from an explosion (especially a nuclear explosion) or a suddenly fluctuating magnetic field. The resulting electric and magnetic fieldsmay couple with electrical/electronic systems to produce damaging current and voltage surges.A broadband, high-intensity, short-duration burst of electromagnetic energy.
What causes greatest damage to an explosion?
blast effects
