Resistance of human body

Objective

Measure the resistance of human body by comparing it with a known resistor. We start with a DC input from PV1 and then using the AC signal from WG.

Procedure

Discussion

The DC measurements are affected more by the electrical noise. The AC resistance should be less than the DC resistance. The resistance is due to our skin and AC can pass through this, like it passes through a capacitor.
