You can find the exact value of a resistance if you
use a meter; but when you only want to know
approximate resistance values, you can use this
conductivity tester.
This circuit converts resistance to electric current
and compares it with the comparator’s reference
current to tell you the approximate range of
resistance. The comparator has a reference voltage
of about 0.82V.
To use this project, build the circuit and set the
switch to position A to turn on the power. Connect
the material to be tested between terminals 13 and
14. If the LED lights, the resistance is less than
100k
Ω
. If the LED does not light, the resistance is
greater than 100k
Ω
.
If the LED lights, connect terminals 93 and 86, and
see if the LED stays on or turns off. If it turns off, the
resistance is in the range of 10
Ω
to 100k
Ω
. If it stays
on, remove the wire from terminal 86 and connect it
to terminal 84. If the LED turns off, the resistance is
in the range of 1 to 10k
Ω
. If the LED still doesn’t turn
off, remove the wire from terminal 84 and connect it
to terminal 76. Does the LED turn off? If it does, it
means that the resistance is in the range of 100
Ω
to
1k
Ω
. If it stays on, the resistance is less than 100
Ω
.
