Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de mesure de résistance électrique (1) comprenant des électrodes de travail (41, 43), des électrodes de référence (51, 53), une alimentation électrique CA (61) qui est connectée aux électrodes de travail (41, 43) et applique un signal CA ayant une fréquence fixe, un voltmètre (63) qui est connecté aux électrodes de référence (51, 53) et mesure une différence de potentiel, et une unité de calcul de résistance électrique (71) qui calcule la résistance électrique d'une couche de cellules (9) sur la base d'une valeur de tension obtenue par le voltmètre (63). L'unité de calcul de résistance électrique (71) comprend une unité de calcul de décalage (73) qui exécute un processus pour calculer une quantité de changement de la valeur de tension par unité de temps à partir d'une valeur de différence entre deux valeurs de tension dans la même phase.
