According to Gauss, a closed conducting body will distribute the charge to the surface. Since the human body is a conductor does that mean the electric field in our body is zero? 
No, the human body does have an electric field, although it is relatively weak compared to other organisms. This electric field is generated by the movement of charged particles, such as ions, within the body.
The electric field in the human body plays a crucial role in many physiological processes, such as nerve and muscle function, cell signaling, and the regulation of bodily functions.
The electric field in the human body can be measured using specialized instruments, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or an electromyogram (EMG). These devices detect and record the electrical signals produced by the body's cells and tissues.
Yes, the electric field in the human body can be influenced by external factors such as environmental conditions, exposure to electromagnetic radiation, and certain medical conditions. However, the body has mechanisms to regulate and maintain its electric field within a normal range.
Yes, an abnormal electric field in the human body can lead to various health issues, such as disruptions in nerve and muscle function, changes in heart rhythm, and other physiological disturbances. It is important to maintain a balanced and regulated electric field in the body for overall health and well-being.
