Measuring Human Body Capacitance (or any capacitance)
Why people recommend it
ElectroBOOM measures how the human body behaves as a capacitor and conductor, cited in discussions of shocks, static and finger-poking circuits.
Watch for: Measured body capacitance comes out far above textbook figures
In their words
Actually, I've recently seen some experiments confirming the human body capacitance values I kinda suspected:
got trolled too much this week on electronics.stackexchange.com, Oct 2015. CC BY-SA.
Interesting how Electroboom was able to get a capacitance 25-50 times greater than that expected 100-200 pF at power line frequencies
