Please help? scale question!?!
Question: Please help!? scale question!!?
hi, i bought a scale to weigh myself not too long ago!. it's an electronic scale!. basically, if i weight myself on the carpet i weight a few pounds less than on linoleum!. but when i'm on tile, i weigh a little less than when i weigh myself on linoleum!. so please help!! which surface is the most accurate!?!?!? i need to know to track my weight loss progress! thanks :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Elecronic scales measure the change in capacitance across small opposed metal plates as they are pressed on!.
Hunh!?
Okay, it's like this!. Two small metal plates are hooked up to opposite sides of a battery, and held so that they are almost but not quite touching!. They build up a potential, or a 'charge'!. This is essentially capacitance!. Capacitance is changed by either making the plates bigger or smaller, or puhing them closer or further apart!.
An electric scale works by placing a weight on top of the capacitor, the plates!. This pushes the plates closer resulting in a change in capacitance!. This change is measured and voila translated into weight!.
Now, each of the surface you mentioned is either softer or harder, which means that they will wiggle of shift a bit with weight, thus influencing the calculated weight!. The hardest surface, in this case the tile, will have the least give and thus be most acurate!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tile!.!.!. the harder the surface, the more accurate the reading will be!. the carpet absorbs the weight of the scale itself!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
