Hi,

Navin ji, thought i'd ask if it is possible to diy a non inductive resistor.

i was reading somewhere, a guy made the resistors using silver wires. winding the wires in the opposite direction, the guy said it cancels out the inductance.

i measured a few WW resistors and the inductance came close to around 0.04 Mili Henries. Don't know if it is accurate though. i have a Lutron LCR meter if that helps.

I think it should be possible with magnet wire(enamelled copper wire)

cheers
