i connected probe of digital mutimeter to the earth socket of ac mains and held the other probe. it shows resistance of 1.8Mohm .but when i touched that end (one i'd held) to the floor. it displays beyond 200Mohm. why is it so ? shouldnt impedance be lesser?doesnt any rms current flow if the live wire touches the floor(directly)?
edit : floor is concrete
