Abstract :
The test methods for human body electrostatic capacitance are analyzed. The results shown that in some circumstances the human body resistance and the human leakage resistance from the body to ground can influence the readings of conventional capacitance meter greatly when using the meter to measure human body capacitance. A new test method for the measurement of human body electrostatic capacitance is recommended.
