Paper Resistor

Step 4 Time to work seriously!!

This is the most important part of this instructable - THE CALIBRATION PART.
Before starting with this part,
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT:

• the area beyond the demarked one (where we have scribbled) is clean as while scribbling you have may have touched the other part of the paper,so rub off the ajoining area with an eraser-neatly!

*make sure that your multimeter is working and set your multimeter to to the resistance range of 200K ohms.

Step (3):
Substeps:
(1) Put the clip to the starting point of your strip(i.e. on the most lefthand side).
(2) See to it that the clip is firmly put (as shown in the figure)
(3) Next to this clip, put another clip ,leaving a space of around 1/2 to 1 cm.
(4) Connect your multimeter probes to the clip and check the resistnance.
(5) Adjust the position of the second clip to get the desired resistance.
(6) After getting the desired resistance ,see that the clip is frimly stuck.
(7) I have made actually here a variable capacitor like taht used in a light dimmer , so you can see in the photo that i have stuck two clips as the other pin of the resistor . The clips as so calibrated that the resistance difference between two clips is of 10 k ohms.You can calibrate many clips side by side with specific resistance interval and can make your own light dimmer !!
