Primary parts of the body where adipose tissue specialized connective tissue that functions as the major storage site for fatis stored. Turn digital multimeter dial to resistance or ohms which often shares a spot on the dial with one or more other.
How To Use A Multimeter Part 3 Measuring Resistance And
Body resistance measurement. First insert the black test. Most body water is stored in muscle. In bia a weak electric current flows through the body and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance resistance of the body. Electrical resistanceis a measure of how much an object opposes the flow of an electric current. In reality the 1k collector resistor is a varrying resistance between 1k and 100k which is the resistance of the skin. Turn power to circuit off.
When you step on the scale a small electrical current runs up through your leg and across your pelvis measuring the amount of resistance from body fat. Its reciprocal quantity is electrical. The si unit of electrical resistance is the ohm ω. The final schematic will supply roughly 10 20 micro amps over a set of 2 electrodes to determine body resistance. If a circuit includes a capacitor discharge the capacitor before taking any resistance. Using the 2 probes of my multimeter placing the red probe on my left thumb and black probe on my right thumb i measured about 1 mega ohm for my body resistance.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis bia is a commonly used method for estimating body composition in particular body fat and muscle mass. Then the sensors in the scale measure the. How to measure resistance 1.
