Hello i want to know what's the strongest magnetic field safe for a man who has pacemaker without having any problems ?
If it's not to complicated to answer, thank you.

A pacemaker is a small medical device that is implanted in the chest to help regulate the heart's rhythm. It uses electrical pulses to keep the heart beating at a normal rate.
Pacemakers are generally safe around small, everyday magnetic fields, but strong magnetic fields can interfere with the functioning of the pacemaker. This can cause the heart to beat too fast or too slow, which can be dangerous for the patient.
A strong magnetic field is typically anything greater than 10 gauss. This can be found in some industrial settings, medical equipment, and certain household appliances like microwave ovens.
People with pacemakers should avoid direct contact with strong magnetic fields and keep a safe distance of at least 6 inches (15 cm) from the source. They should also avoid staying near the source for prolonged periods of time.
In most cases, a strong magnetic field will not permanently damage a pacemaker. However, it can interfere with the device's functioning, and the pacemaker may need to be reset or reprogrammed by a doctor.
